Small ruminant production is one of the main sources of meat in Algeria and plays a vital role in the country's food security. Algeria's small ruminant industry has the potential to improve the living standards of farmers and households, as well as to increase animal protein availability to the public, and as a consequence to alleviate poverty and improve health. This review describes the main infectious diseases that have an impact on small ruminant production in Algeria. It also discusses the adopted control measures for these diseases. The epidemiological status of small ruminant diseases in Algeria is striking and the main infectious diseases threatening its small ruminant industry are peste des petits ruminants, bluetongue, foot and mouth disease, sheep pox/goat pox, brucellosis and Rift Valley fever. Therefore, the establishment of early warning systems and the proper implementation of control measures are needed in order to prevent, control and/or eradicate these diseases that have a significant impact on Algeria's economy.
小型反刍动物养殖是阿尔及利亚肉类的主要来源之一，对该国的粮食安全起着至关重要的作用。阿尔及利亚的小型反刍动物产业有潜力提高农民和家庭的生活水平，增加公众可获得的动物蛋白，从而减轻贫困并改善健康状况。本综述描述了对阿尔及利亚小型反刍动物养殖有影响的主要传染病。还讨论了针对这些疾病所采取的控制措施。阿尔及利亚小型反刍动物疾病的流行病学状况令人震惊，威胁其小型反刍动物产业的主要传染病有小反刍兽疫、蓝舌病、口蹄疫、绵羊痘/山羊痘、布鲁氏菌病和裂谷热。因此，需要建立预警系统并妥善实施控制措施，以预防、控制和/或根除这些对阿尔及利亚经济有重大影响的疾病。
