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....
A cross-sectional study was conducted from November 2018 to May 2019 in Bishoftu and Dukem central part of Ethiopia. The objectives the present were isolate identify S. aureus, E. coli, Salmonella dairy cattle, personnel, equipment at farms. In addition this, antimicrobial resistance profiles isolates determined. total 607 samples consisting fresh cow milk (125), fecal sample (211), nasal swab pooled milkers’ hand swabs (20), floor tank (20) collected 20 farms, which included 211 animals....
Abstract In low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), enteric infections pose a significant threat to children’s health. However, understanding the specifics of when, where, how young children in LMICs are exposed pathogens roles animal reservoirs, environmental media, human hosts play during exposure remains limited. This study systematically evaluates infants’ E. coli through various pathways rural Haramaya woreda Ethiopia. Between June 2021 2022, we conducted over 1300 hours structured...
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...
Childhood stunting and malnutrition condemn millions of people globally to a life disadvantage cognitive physical impairment. Though increasing egg consumption is often seen as an important solution for low middle income countries (including Ethiopia), emerging evidence suggests that greater exposure poultry feces may also inhibit child growth due the effects enteric bacteria, especially Campylobacter, on gut health.In this rapid ethnographic study, we explored village production, dietary...
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. Women have long been engaged agricultural the region, yet shift from food crop to khat/cash on degree manner women’s engagement agriculture any related changes nutrition are largely unstudied. Using longitudinal data collected December 2020 June 2022 Haramaya woreda, East Hararghe Zone, this study aimed explore relationship between child nutritional outcomes, test...
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...
The rationale behind generating this dataset lies on the fact that there are limited data status of agro-pastoral youth participation in programs, projects and development interventions by public sector, NGOs other stakeholders. Moreover, relationship between changes their livelihoods has not been properly investigated, documented shared. Traditionally, field-based research focused household heads excluded male female many contexts. unavailability such severely capability various actors to...
The aim of the current study was to assess major animal health problems and their impact on beef cattle production in Doba district West Harerghe Zone, Ethiopia. area purposively selected, a simple random sampling method used selected households’ fatteners from each kebele interviewed using structured questionnaires. present showed that overall prevalence diseases internal external parasite 93.3%, bloat 53.3%, black leg 71.1%, pasteurolosis 71.8%, wound FMD 22.2%, anthrax 13.33% which affect...
