ABSTRACT Background: The objective of this study was to evaluate changes of haematological and biochemical parameters in Hejazi goats under synchronization protocols treatment. Methods:Forty fertile and healthy female Hejazi goats were divided equally and randomly into four groups (n=10). All synchronization protocols started 7 days after the first 125 µg Cloprostenol injection (i.m.). The first group received CIDR treatment for 7 days only and followed by injection of second dose of PGF2α and 400 IU of PMSG, and the second group received CIDR treatment for 14 days and followed by injection of second dose of PGF2α and 400 IU of PMSG, and the third group received injection of 0.004 µg of synthetic GnRH analogue for 7 days and followed on day 14 by a second injection of 125 µg PGF2α followed by second injection of 0.004 µg of synthetic GnRH analogue, the fourth group received two doses of 125 µg PGF2α with14 days interval. Blood samples were collected from all of the does for biochemical analysis. Results: Observations showed no external or behaviour changes recorded and slight changes in all groups in diagnostic parameters. The conception rate tended to be decrease specific with increase in other days Conclusions: This study showed that monitoring the biochemical diagnostic parameters in the four groups going different protocols we didn’t record any significant different (P>0.05). The current study suggests that CIDR treatment for short and long are safe in Hejazi doe

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has posed serious health and economic threats, particularly in developing countries. The presentation of the disease is highly variable and could be easily confused with other respiratory tract infections.1 In Africa, tuberculosis (TB) is one of the top causes of mortality and has a presentation conspicuously similar to the current severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. During the past coronavirus epidemics like SARS and Middle East respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus (MERSCoV), co-infections with TB had posed a major threat to the spread of the disease. Hence, the association between COVID-19 and TB cannot be ruled out, and more evidence should be gathered to increase our understanding of the dynamics of both diseases during the spread of the pandemic.2 Therefore, it is important to understand the distribution and aggregation degree of TB and COVID-19 and to follow up the spatial trends of both of them during the pandemic period. In this study, we aimed to analyze the spatiotemporal variation and the trends of TB and COVID-19 during the pandemic at the national and regional levels. This will provide more information and thus help implement proper strategies to combat the burden of the pandemic

Since being declared a pandemic in March 2020, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which causes the disease known as coronavirus disease (COVID-19), has brought difficult situations for citizens of nations worldwide. The effects, however, may be more severe for vulnerable communities, such as immigrants, who are already in desperate situations and under deteriorating conditions. There are still very limited data on how the pandemic is impacting migrant communities. Immigrant camps foster an environment that poses a great threat to the health of their inhabitants, especially at the time of a pandemic. Overcrowding, poor sanitation, inadequate health care, and difficulty containing contagious diseases are well documented in African immigration detention centers. Furthermore, they are unlikely to take priority in a moment in which governments are mobilizing all resources to care for their citizens. Their situation is even more complicated if they are hosted in corridors plagued by war, as in North Africa
