RESUMO
Serosurvey results for Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus antibodies in dromedary camels in Algeria indicate that the pathogen is circulating endemically in desertic areas, despite the hostile environment. Thus, dromedaries are suitable sentinels for detecting human risk for Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever in desertic areas.

OBJECTIVE: To enhance effectiveness of reproduction management in Arabian mares, factors influencing the time of foaling were investigated in this study. METHODS: Data were collected at the National Haras of Tiaret in Algeria from 2003 to 2010. The foaling time of 255 Arabian pure bred mares, aged from 3 to 20 years were used for this study. RESULTS: A total of 78.07% of foaling happens between 7 pm and 6 am. CONCLUSIONS: The influence of the month of foaling and the sex of the foal, on the time of foaling was statically significant.
