This study was aimed at assessing the prevalence of Paragonimus infection in Ebonyi State. Deep sputum samples from 3600 individuals and stool samples from 900 individuals in nine Local Government Areas in Ebonyi State, Nigeria were examined for Paragonimus ova using concentration technique. The overall prevalence of pulmonary Paragonimus infection in the area was 16.30%. Six foci of the infection were identified in Ebonyi North and Ebonyi Central but none in Ebonyi South. The intensity of the infection was generally moderate. Of the 720 individuals examined, 16 (12.12%) had less than 40 ova of Paragonimus in 5 mL sputum and 114 (86.36%) had between 40 and 79 ova of Paragonimus in 5 mL sputum.

    Journal of Environment and Earth Science www.iiste.org ISSN 2224-3216 (Paper) ISSN 2225-0948 (Online) Vol. 3, No.3, 2013 Assessment and Management Strategies for the Receding Watersheds of Ebonyi State, Southeast Nigeria Ogbodo E N Department of Soil and Environmental Management, Ebonyi State University, PMB 053,Abakaliki, Ebonyi State, Nigeria Email: emmanwaogbodo@ yahoo. com. Abstract The conditions of the watersheds of Ebonyi State has become a concern for individuals, communities, governments, donor agencies and private and public businesses as everybody depends on its resources. A study was therefore conducted within 2011 to 2012, to identify the dimensions and level of environmental degradation at the watershed sites with a view to developing management strategies for them. The study involved global positioning, reconnaissance survey and evaluation. The assessments of the sites identified were based on technical judgments, using the environmental baseline data collection and secondary information methods. A total of 39 degraded watersheds were identified, and which environmental assessment was carried out on. The results indicated that erosion, siltation and deforestation were the major environmental degradations, and cutting across almost the entire watersheds. Previous restoration measures were reviewed and recommendations for future conservation strategies were highlighted. Key words: Receding watersheds, Degradation, Environmental assessment, Management, Ebonyi state. 1. Introduction A Watershed is a land area whose runoff drains into any stream, river, lake, and ocean. Other terms used for watershed include catchment or drainage basin . The watersheds consist of land, water and the shed; the vegetative canopy that assists in maintenance of the dynamic equilibrium in the watershed ecosystem. Watersheds are uniquely multifunctional and capable of simultaneously producing agricultural commodities and generating ecosystem services.

The pavement substratum is designed to have a compacted sub soil layer preferably of laterite. This layer is expected to be the stable bed on which the road pavement is carried. The Abakaliki Road Project, otherwise known as the State Ring Road Project, will comprise the upgrading/Rehabilitation of four (4) road links forming the ring road around the Ebonyi state capital; Abakaliki (Map1.1). The circular road is a State road linking series of agrarian communities and villages along Ezzamgbo - Onueke - Noyo - Effium - Ezzamgbo junction road intersect on Abakaliki - Enugu Federal Highway. The road also intersects the Abakaliki - Afikpo - Okigwe Road at Onueke town. Similarly, the road intersects the Abakaliki - Ogoja Federal Highway at Noyo town. The road traverses seven (7) of the thirteen LGAs of the State - Abakaliki, Ebonyi, Ezza South, Ezza North, Ikwo, Izzi and Ohaukwu. Five of the seven local government areas account for 36% of the total land area of the state of which two are largest in the state, in terms of land areas namely: Ikwo and Ohaukwu.

    Understanding Factors Influencing Care Seeking for Sick Children In

    Dougherty et al. BMC Public Health (2020) 20:746 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12889-020-08536-5 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Understanding factors influencing care seeking for sick children in Ebonyi and Kogi States, Nigeria Leanne Dougherty1*, Kate Gilroy1, Abimbola Olayemi1, Omitayo Ogesanmola2, Felix Ogaga1, Chinwe Nweze1, Joya Banerjee3, Chioma Oduenyi3 and Michel Pacqué1 Abstract Background: Nigeria has one of the highest child mortality rates in the world, with an estimated 750,000 deaths annually among children under age five. The majority of these deaths are due to pneumonia, malaria, or diarrhea. Many parents do not seek sick-child care from trained, biomedical providers, contributing to this high rate of mortality. Methods: This qualitative study explores factors enabling or preventing parents from seeking care for sick under- five children in Nigeria’s Kogi and Ebonyi states, including gender-related roles and social norms. Interviews were conducted with parents of sick under-five children and service providers, and focus group discussions were held with community leaders to assess how care-seeking behavior was influenced by four modes from the Colvin et al. conceptual framework for household decision-making and pathways to care. These include (1) caregivers’ recognition and response to illness, (2) seeking advice and negotiating access within the family, (3) making use of community-based treatment options, and (4) accessing biomedical services. Results: Parents were found to have a general understanding of illness symptoms but did not always attribute illness to biomedical causes. Intra-household decision-making processes were shaped by gender dynamics between men and women, and were found to have great effects on decisions to seek care.

National Root Crops Research Institute, Umudike, PMB 7006, Umuahia, Abia State, Nigeria. Corresponding Authors' email: [email protected] Abstract Despite the growing importance and known potential of sweet potato as food, animal feed and raw material; there is dearth of records of its production and marketing in Nigeria's food system. The study sought to investigate production cost and marketing outlets of sweet potato among farmers in Ebonyi State. Primary data were collected from 400 small-scale sweet potato farmers in the area using a multi-stage sampling technique. The instruments used for data collection were interview schedule and focus group discussion (FGD). Data collected through these methods were analysed using descriptive statistics. FGD was analysed by transcribing responses of the discussants. Findings revealed that land preparation (per ha) constitute the highest cost of production among all the cost items with average cost of ₦25,912.30, also, average total cost of producing one hectare of sweet potato in the study area was ₦71,011.24, while the average sale of harvested produce was ₦249,363.87. This implies an average profit of ₦178,352.1 realized.

Urinary Schistosomiasis Among School Age Children In Ebonyi State, Nigeria. The Internet Journal of Laboratory Medicine. 2006 Volume 2 Number 1. Abstract Infection is one of the major public health problems facing developing countries, with school age children at greatest risk. A survey of S. haematobium infection was conducted among school children in Ohaukwu and Onicha in Ebonyi State, Nigeria using standard techniques. Of the combined total of 876 pupils examined, 235(26.8%, 95% CI., 23.9-29.7%) were infected with S. haematobium. A total of 129 (27.01%, 95% CI., 23.0-31.0%) males and 106 (26.6%, 95% CI., 22.3-30.9%) females were infected. The prevalence of the infection was significantly higher in Ohaukwu than Onicha (47.9%,95% CI., 42.9-52.9% versus 11.0%, 95% CI., 8.3-13.7%) (χ2 =148.6, df =1, P < 0.05). Individuals aged 5-10years old were more likely to be infected and the intensity of the infection was higher among the males. To control urinary schistosomiasis, methodologies and managerial tools should be integrated to improve preventive strategies, with emphases on health education, information and communication. INTRODUCTION subtropical areas. One measure of that importance within the Urinary schistosomiasis caused by Schistosoma development strategies of endemic countries is reflected in haematobium is reportedly endemic in 53 counties in the executive level planning and inclusion of schistosomiasis control activities in national budgets.
