  • Therapeutic Efficacy of Artemether-Lumefantrine in the Treatment of Uncomplicated Plasmodium Falciparum Malaria in Chewaka Distr
    Abamecha et al. Malar J (2020) 19:240 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12936-020-03307-4 Malaria Journal RESEARCH Open Access Therapeutic efcacy of artemether-lumefantrine in the treatment of uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria in Chewaka District, Ethiopia Abdulhakim Abamecha1,7,8* , Daniel Yilma2, Wondimagegn Addisu1, Hassan El‑Abid3, Achim Ibenthal4, Harald Noedl5, Delenasaw Yewhalaw1,8, Mohieddine Moumni3 and Alemseged Abdissa1,6 Abstract Background: The efcacy of artemether‑lumefantrine (AL) for treatment of uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria in south‑western Ethiopia is poorly documented. Regular monitoring of drug efcacy is an important tool for supporting national treatment policies and practice. This study investigated the therapeutic efcacy of AL for the treatment of P. falciparum malaria in Ethiopia. Methods: The study was a one‑arm, prospective, evaluation of the clinical and parasitological, responses to directly observed treatment with AL among participants 6 months and older with uncomplicated P. falciparum malaria. Real‑time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and nested PCR reaction methods were used to quantify and genotype P. falciparum. A modifed protocol based on the World Health Organization 2009 recommendations for the surveillance of anti‑malarial drug efcacy was used for the study with primary outcomes, clinical and parasitological cure rates at day‑28. Secondary outcomes assessed included patterns of fever and parasite clearance. Cure rate on day‑28 was assessed by intention to treat (ITT) and per protocol (PP) analysis. Parasite genotyping was also performed at baseline and at the time of recurrence of parasitaemia to diferentiate between recrudescence and new infection. Results: Of the 80 study participants enrolled, 75 completed the follow‑up at day‑28 with ACPR.

In this study, honey bee forages were assessed in three different agro-ecology districts, Jimma Zone, Southwest, Ethiopia. Random sampling techniques was used to collect the data, ninety beekeepers were interviewed using structured questioner. Key informants were interviewed with in all study areas. ANOVA of GLM and Regression were done using Minitab statistical software. Accordingly 42 honey bee’ forages; 28 trees, 6 shrubs and 8 herbs were mentioned by respondents which belong to 22 families, Fabaceae and Asteraceae were the first and second dominant family respectively. Natural forest trees, cultivated crops and fruits were identified as bee forage. Beekeepers experience and their knowledge on seasonal availability of bee forage and honey bee poisonous plants found in their locality were also assessed. In the study area traditional forest beekeeping system is practiced to produce honey. Different bee forages bear flower at different months and visited by honey bees for different number of days.

Dairy has been identified as a priority area for the Ethiopian government, which aims to increase Ethiopian milk production at an average annual growth rate of 15.5% during the GTP II period (2015-2020), from 5,304 million litters to 9,418 million litters. This study was carried out to assess determinants of dairy product market participation of the rural households in the case of Adaberga district in West Shewa zone of Oromia national regional state, Ethiopia. The study took a random sample of 120 dairy producer households by using multi-stage sampling procedure and employing a probability proportional to sample size sampling technique. For the individual producer, the decision to participate or not to participate in dairy production was formulated as binary choice probit model to identify factors that determine dairy product market participation.

  • Army Worm Infestation in SNNP and Oromia Regions As of 24 May
    Army worm infestation in SNNP and Oromia Regions As of 24 May, some 8,368 hectares of belg cropland was reportedly destroyed by army worms in Wolayita zone of SNNPR - an area that suffered from late onset of the 2013 belg rains and subsequent heavy rains that damaged belg crops. The damage caused by the army worms will further reduce the expected harvest this season. Similar incidents were also reported from Boricha, Bona Zuria, Dara, Dale, Hawassa Zuria and Loko Abaya woredas of Sidama zone; Loma and Mareka woredas of Dawro zone (SNNPR), as well as from drought prone areas of East and West Hararge zones of Oromia Region; and quickly spreading to neighbouring areas. In Boricha woreda, for example, more than 655 hectares of belg cropland was destroyed in the course of one week, this is indicative of the speed that damage is being caused. Immediate distribution of spraying containers and chemicals to the farmers is required to prevent further loss of belg crops. For more information, contact: [email protected] Health Update The number of meningitis cases has gradually declined since the outbreak was declared in January. To date, 1,371 cases were reported from 24 woredas in five zones of SNNP and Oromia Regions. The Government, with support from health partners, is conducting a reactive vaccination in the affected areas, with 1, 678,220 people vaccinated so far. Next week, the number of people vaccinated during the Addis Ababa City Administration meningitis vaccination campaign, conducted from 20 to 26 May, will be released. Meanwhile, the number of kebeles reporting cases of Yellow Fever in South Ari, Benatsemay and Selmago woredas of South Omo zone, SNNPR, increased.
