I also would like to extend my thanks to all people in the Pulse and Oil Crop’s Section of the Field Crops’ Breeding and Genetics Research Division of SARC for their assistance from planting to harvesting. Mr. Zerihun Jaleta and Mr. Mahamed Abinassa deserve my heart felt thank for all their support during my study. Mr. Genene Gezu is acknowledged for lending me a laptop computer at critical time. I am also grateful to all individuals and institutions who/that have directly or indirectly contributed to the thesis work. I would like to thank the Agricultural Research and Training Project of the Ethiopian Agricultural Research Institute, the former Ethiopian Agricultural Research Organization, for sponsoring my M. Sc. Thesis Research. Addis Ababa University is also acknowledged for covering some of the research costs and provision of computer and internet services. My special thanks go to Oromiya Agricultural Research Institute for allowing me for the study. I I am greatly indebted to Institute of Biodiversity Conservation for kindly providing me the seeds of all selected lentil landrace accessions. I am also thankful to Debre-Zeit Agricultural Research Center for provision of seeds of nine improved varieties of lentil. SARC is also acknowledged for providing me seeds of one improved and one candidate varieties. Above all, I thank the almighty God for every thing.

A cross sectional study was, therefore, conducted from December 2015 to April 2016 to determine the prevalence of ovine fasciolosis in four peasant associations in Shirka Woreda, Arsi, Ethiopia. Sedimentation technique was employed to detect Fasciola eggs during the study. A total of 384 sheep were involved in the study amongst which 118 were found to be positive with an overall prevalence of 30.70 per cent. Zenbabahella, Hanu Jawe, Sole Ferekesa and HelaTijoSero peasant associations (PAs) accounted for 35, 30.8, 34.8 and 23.076 per cent, respectively. The prevalence of fasciolosis was associated with different variables. Young sheep (31.62%) showed higher prevalence rate than adult sheep (29.6%). Prevalence of fasciolosis by sex was 35% and 29.2% in male and female, respectively.

  • Genetic Diversity and Population Structure of Ethiopian Lentil (Lens Culinaris Medikus) Landraces As Revealed by ISSR Marker
    African Journal of Biotechnology Vol. 6 (12), pp. 1460-1468, 18 June 2007 Available online at http://www.academicjournals.org/AJB ISSN 1684–5315 © 2007 Academic Journals Full Length Research Paper Genetic diversity and population structure of Ethiopian lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus) landraces as revealed by ISSR marker Edossa Fikiru1*, Kassahun Tesfaye2 and Endashaw Bekele2 1Sinana Agricultural Research Center, Bale-Robe, Ethiopia. 2Addis Ababa University, Science Faculty, Department of Biology, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Accepted 4 May, 2007 Characterization of genetic resources maintained at genebanks has important implication for future utilization and collection activities. The objective of this study was to assess the level of genetic diversity, genetic structure and genetic distance, and to indirectly estimate the level of gene flow among populations of Ethiopian lentil landraces using intersimple sequence repeat (ISSR) marker. For this purpose, seeds of seventy landrace accessions collected from seven different administrative regions of Ethiopia were obtained from Inistitute of Biodiversity Conservation and grown at Sinana Agricultural Research Center (Bale-Robe, Ethiopia) on-station field plot. DNA was extracted from a bulk leaf sample of fifteen randomly selected seed-raised plants using a triple CTAB extraction technique. ISSR data were generated using four primers. The total genetic diversity ( HT ), the intrapopulation genetic diversity ( H S ) and the interpopulation genetic diversity ( DST ) were 0.175, 0.095 and 0.079, respectively. High intrapopulation genetic diversity was observed for Gonder, Shewa and Wello populations, while Arsi, Bale, Tigray and Gojam populations showed low intrapopulation diversity. There was high genetic differentiation (GST = 0.455) but intermediate gene flow level (Nm = 0.60) among populations.

  • Spatial Clustering and Genetic Diversity Of
    Tafess et al. BMC Pulm Med (2021) 21:206 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12890-021-01567-7 RESEARCH Open Access Spatial clustering and genetic diversity of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolate among pulmonary tuberculosis suspected patients, Arsi Zone, Ethiopia Ketema Tafess1*, Teresa Kisi Beyen2, Sisay Girma3, Asnakech Girma4 and Gilman Siu5 Abstract Background: Tuberculosis remains a serious public health concern globally. The enormous social, economic, and health impacts of the diseases are attributed to the lack of updated data on the prevalence, geospatial distribution, population structures, and genotypic variants of the circulating M. tuberculosis. Methods: Structured questionnaire, mycobacterial culture, and standard 24-Mycobacterial Interspersed Repeated Units-Variable Number Tandem Repeats (MIRU-VNTR) were employed to collect sociodemographic characters, resi- dence linked information, and genotype the isolates. The retrospective discrete Bernoulli model was used to identify the hot spot districts of sputum smear positivity, and Web-based Miru-VNTRPlus were used for the identifcation of lineages and sublineages. Results: Out of 832 presumptive pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) suspects, 119 (14.3%) were smear-positive. In the multivariate binary logistic model, PTB suspected patients in the age groups of 7–25 and 25–34 and those from rural residents were 4.53 (AOR 4.53; 95% CI 2.25–9.13), 3.00 (AOR 3.00; 95% CI 1.41–6.35) and 1.65 (AOR 1.65; 95% CI 1.01–2.70) times at higher= risk of turning smear-positive. Eleven= (47.8%) districts of Arsi Zone were shown= to have a high rate of clustering (RR 2.27; 95% CI 1.62–3.2) of smear-positive PTB.
