  • Spatial Distribution of Glossina Sp. and Trypanosoma Sp. in South-Western
    Duguma et al. Parasites & Vectors (2015) 8:430 DOI 10.1186/s13071-015-1041-9 RESEARCH Open Access Spatial distribution of Glossina sp. and Trypanosoma sp. in south-western Ethiopia Reta Duguma1,2, Senbeta Tasew3, Abebe Olani4, Delesa Damena4, Dereje Alemu3, Tesfaye Mulatu4, Yoseph Alemayehu5, Moti Yohannes6, Merga Bekana1, Antje Hoppenheit7, Emmanuel Abatih8, Tibebu Habtewold2, Vincent Delespaux8* and Luc Duchateau2 Abstract Background: Accurate information on the distribution of the tsetse fly is of paramount importance to better control animal trypanosomosis. Entomological and parasitological surveys were conducted in the tsetse belt of south-western Ethiopia to describe the prevalence of trypanosomosis (PoT), the abundance of tsetse flies (AT) and to evaluate the association with potential risk factors. Methods: The study was conducted between 2009 and 2012. The parasitological survey data were analysed by a random effects logistic regression model, whereas the entomological survey data were analysed by a Poisson regression model. The percentage of animals with trypanosomosis was regressed on the tsetse fly count using a random effects logistic regression model. Results: The following six risk factors were evaluated for PoT (i) altitude: significant and inverse correlation with trypanosomosis, (ii) annual variation of PoT: no significant difference between years, (iii) regional state: compared to Benishangul-Gumuz (18.0 %), the three remaining regional states showed significantly lower PoT, (iv) river system: the PoT differed significantly between the river systems, (iv) sex: male animals (11.0 %) were more affected than females (9.0 %), and finally (vi) age at sampling: no difference between the considered classes. Observed trypanosome species were T. congolense (76.0 %), T.

  • Prioritization of Shelter/NFI Needs
    Prioritization of Shelter/NFI needs Date: 31st May 2018 Shelter and NFI Needs As of 18 May 2018, the overall number of displaced people is 345,000 households. This figure is based on DTM round 10, partner’s assessments, government requests, as well as the total of HH supported since July 2017. The S/NFI updated its prioritisation in early May and SNFI Cluster partners agreed on several criteria to guide prioritisation which include: - 1) type of emergency, 2) duration of displacement, and 3) sub-standard shelter conditions including IDPS hosted in collective centres and open-air sites and 4) % of vulnerable HH at IDP sites. Thresholds for the criteria were also agreed and in the subsequent analysis the cluster identified 193 IDP hosting woredas mostly in Oromia and Somali regions, as well as Tigray, Gambella and Addis Ababa municipality. A total of 261,830 HH are in need of urgent shelter and NFI assistance. At present the Cluster has a total of 57,000 kits in stocks and pipeline. The Cluster requires urgent funding to address the needs of 204,830 HHs that are living in desperate displacement conditions across the country. This caseload is predicted to increase as the flooding continues in the coming months. Shelter and NFI Priority Activities In terms of priority activities, the SNFI Cluster is in need of ES/NFI support for 140,259 HH displaced mainly due to flood and conflict under Pillar 2, primarily in Oromia and Somali Regions. In addition, the Shelter and NFI Cluster requires immediate funding for recovery activities to support 14,000 HH (8,000 rebuild and 6,000 repair) with transitional shelter support and shelter repair activities under Pillar 3.

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 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.

  • 1 the Microeconomics of Household Collection of Wild
    The Microeconomics of Household Collection of Wild Coffee in Ethiopia: Some Policy Implications for In-situ Conservation of Coffea arabica Genetic Diversity1 Degnet Abebaw2 and Detlef Virchow3 Abstract World-wide cultivated arabica coffee is a native plant to Ethiopian highlands. Its wild populations can still be found in the fragmented montane rainforests of the country. To halt degradation and loss of the forest coffee genetic resources, the Ethiopian Government has established in-situ conservation areas in the south and southwestern montane rain forest regions of the country. However, there are several thousands of people who have been and still are dependent on the wild coffee populations from these forests for direct consumption and/or market sales. Thus, policy makers need to consider the needs and economic options of the local people in the periphery, so as to create a win-win relationship between conservation and local agricultural development. This paper substantiates the interface between the forest coffee genetic resources and the local agriculture by exploring the economic importance to farm families of wild coffee from the Geba-Dogi forest coffee conservation area, Southwest Ethiopia. A random sample of 121 farm families was used in this empirical study. Descripitive results demonstrate the very different resource use behavior of the population and the diversity of the (local) people living in the periphery in terms of socioeconomic interests, skills, culture, demographic history, resource use behavior and wealth. Probit regression indicates that household collection of wild coffee from the protected site is positively and significantly associated with family size, ownership of adjacent farm plot, and male- headship of the household.
