The purpose of this paper is to describe how Geographic Information Systems (GIS) can be used to assist reviews to suggest complex information simply, via a spatial depiction. Fasciolosis risk maps are a convenient tool for developing targeted and cost-effective interventions with disease control...

Expansion of cultivation and settlements has increasingly grown in most part of the uplands of Awash river basin. This expansion has exerted pressure on the existing grazing lands and forests. It is, therefore, a paramount importance to identify suitable land for various uses in optimum utilizati...

From November 2003 to October 2004, the prevalence rate of ovine fasciolosis in small-scale irrigation schemes found in three different agro-ecologic zones of the Upper Awash River Basin was assessed. An overall fasciolosis infection prevalence rate of 56.3% (729/1296) was recorded in examined sh...
