Campylobacter is associated with environmental enteric dysfunction (EED) and malnutrition in children. infection could be a linchpin between livestock fecal exposure health outcomes low-resource smallholder settings. We followed birth cohort of 106 infants rural households eastern Ethiopia up to 13 months age. measured anthropometry, surveyed sociodemographic determinants, collected stool urine samples. A short survey was conducted during monthly visits, infant samples were collected, spp....
In our previous cross-sectional study, multiple species of Campylobacter were detected (88%) in stool samples from children (12 to 14 months age) rural eastern Ethiopia. This study assessed the temporal fecal carriage infants and identified putative reservoirs associated with these infections same region. The prevalence load determined using genus-specific real-time PCR. Stool 106 (
Agriculture, and particularly livestock animal source foods, has been closely linked to improvements in human nutrition. Production, income, women’s empowerment improve household food security child nutritional outcomes interacting ways. Khat production Eastern Ethiopia is changing the economic livelihood landscape for communities that have traditionally relied upon small-scale mixed agriculture production. How this shifting of women these are affecting not investigated. Using...
Undernutrition is an underlying cause of mortality in children under five (CU5) years age. Animal-source foods have been shown to decrease malnutrition CU5. Livestock are important reservoirs for Campylobacter bacteria, which recognised as risk factors child malnutrition. Increasing livestock production may be beneficial improving nutrition but these benefits negated by increased exposure and research needed evaluate the complex pathways infection applicable low-income middle-income...

Methods We followed birth cohort 106 infants community rural households eastern Ethiopia up to 13 months age. measured anthropometry, surveyed socio-demographic determinants, collected stool urine samples.

Abstract In eastern Ethiopia, production of khat has increased in recent years, with significant implications for women and sale.

Background The value chains of tomatoes in Ethiopia are largely informal which may pose potential food safety risks. Value (VCs) mapping was carried out with emphasis on two major cities eastern Ethiopia—Harar and Dire Dawa—which were assessed to identify practices likely result unsafe food, considering production, transportation, retail, preparation, consumption. Methods Qualitative methods used map the VCs understand flows, actors, practices. Group discussions key informant interviews...
