Toxigenic Escherichia coli (E. coli) are an important cause of gastroenteritis in developing countries. In Ethiopia, gastroenteritis due to food-borne disease is a leading cause of death. Yet, there is no surveillance for E. coli O157 and little is known about the carriage of this pathogen in Eth...

Gastrointestinal (GI) nematode infections are a major health challenge affecting productive and reproductive performance of sheep and goats in Ethiopia. However, there is no comprehensive summary on the occurrence and distribution of the infection at national level. This systematic review provide...

Gastrointestinal nematode infection in small ruminants in Ethiopia: A systematic review and meta-analysis
This systematic literature review was initiated due to lack of comprehensive information on the status and distribution of contagious caprine pleuropneumonia (CCPP) in Ethiopia. The objectives of the review were thus to provide a pooled prevalence estimate of CCPP in the country and asses the lev...

Metacestode, larval stages of canid cestode parasites are among the causes of morbidity, mortality and financial losses in small ruminants in Ethiopia as a result of organ and carcass condemnation at slaughter. Several studies have been conducted over the years; however, these studies often had l...

Ethiopia has high prevalence of clinical and subclinical mastitis in different livestock
species and production systems and these contribute substantially to poor
productivity in affected herds. Thus far, studies have focused on identification of
microbial pathogens and associated risk factors fo...

The objective of the present study was to assess the behaviour of people in milk
production and consumption using qualitative methods. Further, the study involved
the microbiological quality and safety assessment of milk and traditional dairy
products along milk value chains. The investigation in...

Aflatoxins are a group of toxic metabolites produced by Aspergillus molds that contaminate a variety of food and animal feeds. Exposure to aflatoxins causes serious illness in humans, including liver cancer and stunting in children. When cows ingest aflatoxin-contaminated feed, they secrete aflat...

Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is a highly toxic metabolite of Aspergillus fungi that contaminates animal feed. A cross-sectional study was conducted at the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) in the Greater Addis Ababa milk shed between September 2014 and February 2015. The objectives were to...
