A study was conducted from October 2016 to May 2017 in and around Hosaena to determine the efficacy of benzimidazole (BZ) and avermectin (AVM) chemical groups against strongyle nematodes in working donkeys. Methods. A total of 230 donkeys from Hosaena, Soro, Anlemo, and Gombora were randomly allocated into 5 groups of 46 donkeys in each group. All groups, except group 1 (control), were treated with ivermectin 1%, ivertong 10%, fenbendazole, and Fenacure 750 mg, respectively.

  • Social and Environmental Risk Factors for Trachoma: a Mixed Methods Approach in the Kembata Zone of Southern Ethiopia
    Social and Environmental Risk Factors for Trachoma: A Mixed Methods Approach in the Kembata Zone of Southern Ethiopia by Candace Vinke B.Sc., University of Calgary, 2005 A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS in the Department of Geography Candace Vinke, 2010 University of Victoria All rights reserved. This thesis may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy or other means, without the permission of the author. ii Supervisory Committee Social and Environmental Risk Factors for Trachoma: A Mixed Methods Approach in the Kembata Zone of Southern Ethiopia by Candace Vinke Bachelor of Science, University of Calgary, 2005 Supervisory Committee Dr. Stephen Lonergan, Supervisor (Department of Geography) Dr. Denise Cloutier-Fisher, Departmental Member (Department of Geography) Dr. Eric Roth, Outside Member (Department of Anthropology) iii Dr. Stephen Lonergan, Supervisor (Department of Geography) Dr. Denise Cloutier-Fisher, Departmental Member (Department of Geography) Dr. Eric Roth, Outside Member (Department of Anthropology) Abstract Trachoma is a major public health concern throughout Ethiopia and other parts of the developing world. Control efforts have largely focused on the antibiotic treatment (A) and surgery (S) components of the World Health Organizations (WHO) SAFE strategy. Although S and A efforts have had a positive impact, this approach may not be sustainable. Consequently, this study focuses on the latter two primary prevention components; facial cleanliness (F) and environmental improvement (E). A geographical approach is employed to gain a better understanding of how culture, economics, environment and behaviour are interacting to determine disease risk in the Kembata Zone of Southern Ethiopia.

    ETHIOPIA MONTHLY MARKET October WATCH 2011 ETHIOPIA MONTHLY MARKET WATCH October 2011 Highlights The Year to Year country level general and food inflation rate increased by 39.8% and 51.7% respectively. Cereal inflation rate increased by 63.1%. The Ethiopian Grain Trade Enterprise has started the sale of subsidised wheat to the urban consumers at US $ 321/mt which is far below the import parity and private traders’ retail prices. Maize, wheat and sorghum import parity prices remained the same at the elevated level with slight decline of 3% to 4% against last month. The local price at Addis Ababa stood below the import parity prices by 44% for maize, 19% higher for wheat and equivalent with sorghum price. In most monitored markets, retail prices of cereal showed a declining trend but still stood above last year the same time. The decreasing price is associated with the progression of upcoming Meher season harvest. The average price of shoat at Dire Dawa and Jijiga remained the same with slight changes but at Gode declined by 7%. However, the terms of trade remained the same due to marginal decline of cereal price. Special issues Subsidised wheat sale: The Government (Ethiopian Grain Trade Enterprise) has started the sale of imported wheat grain to urban consumers through the local level Government institution, kebele, particularly in the capital, Addis Ababa. The selling price of grain wheat is decided at US $ 321/mt at exchange rate of Birr 17.13 against US Dollar. The Government has subsidized the selling price and it stood far below the import parity price.

  • Prevalence and Molecular Characterisation of Eimeria Species in Ethiopian Village Chickens
    Prevalence and molecular characterisation of Eimeria species in Ethiopian village chickens Luu et al. Luu et al. BMC Veterinary Research 2013, 9:208 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1746-6148/9/208 Luu et al. BMC Veterinary Research 2013, 9:208 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1746-6148/9/208 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Prevalence and molecular characterisation of Eimeria species in Ethiopian village chickens Lisa Luu1, Judy Bettridge1,2, Robert M Christley1*, Kasech Melese3, Damer Blake4, Tadelle Dessie2, Paul Wigley1, Takele T Desta2,5, Olivier Hanotte5, Pete Kaiser6, Zelalem G Terfa7, Marisol Collins1 and Stacey E Lynch1,2 Abstract Background: Coccidiosis, caused by species of the apicomplexan parasite Eimeria, is a major disease of chickens. Eimeria species are present world-wide, and are ubiquitous under intensive farming methods. However, prevalence of Eimeria species is not uniform across production systems. In developing countries such as Ethiopia, a high proportion of chicken production occurs on rural smallholdings (i.e. ‘village chicken production’) where infectious diseases constrain productivity and surveillance is low. Coccidiosis is reported to be prevalent in these areas. However, a reliance on oocyst morphology to determine the infecting species may impede accurate diagnosis. Here, we used cross-sectional and longitudinal studies to investigate the prevalence of Eimeria oocyst shedding at two rural sites in the Ethiopian highlands. Results: Faecal samples were collected from 767 randomly selected chickens in May or October 2011. In addition, 110 chickens were sampled in both May and October. Eimeria oocysts were detected microscopically in 427 (56%, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 52-59%) of the 767 faecal samples tested.
