    Abstract Sheep ectoparasites such as chewing lice, fleas and ticks are serious constraints to sheep productivity and are the cause of skin lesions in animals that decrease their market value. This study aims at investigating the ectoparasite fauna infesting small ruminants in the district of Sidi Bouzid (central Tunisia). A total of 1243 Barbarine and Queue Fine de l'Ouest (QFO) sheep were examined every two months for one year. Of the total animals examined, 74 were infested by at least 1 parasite group (5.95%). Three ectoparasite groups were identified as

    Abstract Background: Tropical theileriosis, Theileria annulata infection, is the most prevalent summer disease in Tunisia. It is transmitted by Hyalomma scupense, a two-host tick known to be endophilic.
    Objectives: The present study aimed to estimate the infection prevalence of cattle by T. annulata in two districts from central Tunisia.
    Methods: Blood samples collected from 270 Holstein cattle from the Sidi Bouzid (140 samples) and Kasserine districts (130 samples) were analysed by Giemsa staining and T. annulata-specific PCR.
    Results: In both regions, PCR revealed a prevalence of 32.6%. This was significantly higher than the 6.3% prevalence obtained by Giemsa staining blood smears (p < 0.001). Giemsa staining also revealed a low parasitaemia of 0.05%. The PCR-based prevalence was not statistically different between the two districts (31.4 ± 0.04 and 33.8 ± 0.04% in Sidi Bouzid and Kasserine districts, respectively, p = 0.6). On the contrary, the results of blood smear examination (2.85 and 10% in Sidi Bouzid and Kasserine, respectively) differed significantly between the two sampling sites (p = 0.01). There was no evidence of a statistically significant difference between the overall molecular infection prevalence when the samples were segregated based on animals' age or gender (p = 0.1 and 0.2, respectively) and a similar trend was observed for Giemsa staining. Ten PCR amplicons of the Tams1 gene (721 bp) were subsequently sequenced from the two regions. The phylogenetic analyses showed 100% similarity between all sequences. The unique conserved Tams1 sequence was deposited in GenBank under the accession number OP428816 and used to infer its phylogenetic relationships with those available in the GenBank repository.
    Conclusions: This is the first report of the presence of T. annulata in this region of central Tunisia which has no history of tropical theileriosis. Priority areas for future studies include understanding the origin of these T. annulata-positive animals in a region where the presence of a known natural vector tick, H. scupense, has not been reported. Given that the disease severely constrains cattle productivity, it would also be worthwhile to investigate if other potential vectors for T. annulata, such as Hyalomma dromedarii, are present in the arid regions.

    Abstract In Tunisia, ICARDA’s work including the IFAD funded CLCA project are highly sensitive to gender problems. The CLCA project for example aims at developing contextually specific solutions to promote the large-scale adoption of conservation agriculture within integrated crop-livestock systems in semi-arid conditions, across a spectrum of age and gender. However, gender gaps do exist and still need to be addressed. The ICARDA-Led CLCA aims at highlighting those gaps and their causes, and to offer transformative solutions to bridge them. Three main fields of empowerment were carried out by the ICARDA-led CLCA Project and conducted as part of the New Directions for Equitable Results (GENDER) Platform: 1. Empowerment in decision making about agricultural production and use of productive assets through enhancing women access to information and technology. 2. Enhancing women leadership in communities through i) improving the inclusiveness of the existing community-based organization by involving women farmers in the different trainings and other knowledge investment operations, and ii) supporting women farmers associations and leveraging their management and technical knowledge capacities. In some cases, the project even stimulates the creation of some of these WF associations, in a way they can be considered as knowledge hubs, inclusive of women problems and opportunities. 3. Acting on enhancing time allocation through enhancing women access to machinery, reduce workloads, and Encourage entrepreneurship for youth and women. “Integrating Gender in the Use of Conservation Agriculture for Crop and Livestock System (CLCA)” is a short movie documenting a series of testimonies on (i) the challenges women farmers are facing, (ii) the solutions brought by the CLCA project to face these challenges and (iii) the impact of these solutions on the livelihood of Tunisian women famers in the crop-livestock farming system.
