Box: 307 Jimma, Ethiopia Abstract African Animal Trypanosomosis is one of the major impediments to livestock development and agricultural production in Ethiopia, which negatively affect the overall development in agriculture in general, and to food self- reliance efforts in particular. Currently, about 180,000 to 200,000km 2 of fertile arable land of west and southwest of the country is underutilized. Darimu district is one of the areas with such problems. Therefore, a cross-sectional study was conducted with the objectives of assessing the prevalence of Bovine Trypanosomosis and determines spatial distribution and apparent density of tsetse and other biting flies in the study area. In current study, a total of 650 blood samples were collected from randomly selected animals and subjected to Buffy coat parasitological laboratory technique and positive samples were subjected to thin blood smear followed by Giemsa staining. Out of the total blood sampled, 7.1% tested positive for trypanosomosis. Out of positive cases, Trypanosoma congolense (82.61%) was the dominant trypanosome species followed by mixed infection ( Trypanosoma congolense and Trypanosoma vivax ) (8.67%). -

The Distribution of the Vectors of African Pathogenic Trypanosomes*
Bull. Org. mond. Sante 1963, 2.8, 653-669 Bull. Wld Hth Org. I The Distribution of the Vectors of African Pathogenic Trypanosomes* J. FORD 1 The author lists the species, subspecies and races of tsetse fly now recognized in three morphologically distinct groups. The distribution of each group is mapped and described in relation to climate and vegetation, with some indication ofthe partplayed bypast climates and orogenies in determining the modern pattern. The importance of different species as vectors of human or bovine trypanosomiasis, or both, is noted, and examples are given of the part played by human settlement as a secondary limiting factor. The author suggests that many modern problems of control are the consequences of the recent invasion of the African ecosystem by the outside world. Although there are local exceptions, the broad pattern of Glossina distribution has not been significantly changed by the entomological approach to the trypanosomiasis problem. So little is known of the role of haematophagous belt of the Koalib Hills in Kordofan and at least insects other than tsetse flies as vectors of African six species in scattered foci in western and southern pathogenic trypanosomes that, although the so- Ethiopia.

The Role of Indigenous Healing Practices in Environmental Protection Among the Maccaa Oromo of Ilu Abbaa Bora and Jimma Zones, Ethiopia
Available online at www.sserr.ro Social Sciences and Education Research Review (4) 1 30-53 (2017) ISSN 2393–1264 ISSN–L 2392–9863 THE ROLE OF INDIGENOUS HEALING PRACTICES IN ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AMONG THE MACCAA OROMO OF ILU ABBAA BORA AND JIMMA ZONES, ETHIOPIA Milkessa Edae TUFA1 , Fesseha Mulu GEBREMARIAM2 1Department of Oromo Folklore and Literature, Jimma University, Ethiopia E-mail: [email protected] 2Department of Governance and Development Studies, Jimma University, Ethiopia E-mails: [email protected] or [email protected] Abstract This article mainly attempted to explore the role of utilizing indigenous medicines in environmental protection among the Maccaa Oromo of Jimma and Iluu Abba bora zone, south-western Ethiopia. To this end, 4 separate interviews with 4 interviewees, 2 focus group discussions with 17 participants, and non- participant field observation were conducted to generate significant and reliable data. Besides, the researchers employed secondary data to make the study more significant and complete. The findings of the study show that since the source of medicines is the environment, the community protects their environment unless the society wouldn’t accessed the natural medicines they need. The study also reveals that most of these folk medicines used by the Maccaa Oromos are from 30 plants. This further indicates the society protects the natural environment to get the plants they use for medication. Thus, folk healing practices are crucial on the one hand to treat illnesses, and to protect the ecosystem on the other hand. However, these societal knowledge is undermined as well as they are being replaced by western (scientific) knowledge, modern medicines. -
