Abstract:

The coffee germplasm bank of the Instituto Agronômico de Campinas has many Coffea arabica accessions from Ethiopia, which is considered the primary center of genetic diversity in coffee plants. An evaluation of the caffeine content of beans from 99 progenies revealed intra- and inter-progeny variability. In 68 progenies from the Kaffa region we found caffeine values in the range 0.46-2.82% (mean 1.18%), and in 22 progenies from Illubabor region these values ranged from 0.42 to 2.90% (mean 1.10%). This variability could be exploited in a breeding program aimed at producing beans with low-caffeine content.

Abstract:

Abstract The study was conducted in two purposefully selected zones of Oromiya Regional State, namely Jimma and Illubabor. The objective of the study was to analyse the honey-bee production and to assess hive technology preferences in the study area. A total of 156 beekeepers were randomly and proportionately selected from four districts (Mana and Gomma from Jimma and Bacho and Yayo from Illubabor). Data were collected through formal survey and secondary sources. Accordingly, the average age of the beekeepers was 40.2 ± 8.13 years with an average of 13.5 ± 6.58 years of experience. The majority of the respondents (53.2%) in the study area got their colonies by catching swarms. Three hive types (traditional, transitional, and frame hive) were found in the study area. More than 70% of the respondents harvested once a year from traditional hives, while 25% of respondents harvested up to three times per year from frame hives. Moreover, an average of 22 ± 4.6 and 16 ± 4.1 kg of honey were harvested from frame and transitional hives per year, respectively. Compared to these two hives, a much lower (7 ± 1.6 kg) amount of honey was harvested from traditional hives. Various honey-bee floras were identified in the study area. Plants such as Vernonia amygdalina, Croton macrostachyus, and Schefflera sp. produce white honey. Half of the respondents’ preferred transitional hive followed by frame hive (37.2%). Factors which affect the use of frame hives were lack of equipment (36.5%) followed by wax quality and availability problems (34%). That is why few beekeepers tried to modify the frame hive to solve the problems of wax in vertical frame hive. In order to adopt and sustain modern hive technology, the focus should be on honey-bee equipment as well as wax quality and availability.

Abstract:

My PLS article, “Risk Factors and Predictability of Famine in Ethiopia” (February, 1991), focused on one nation's experience with the complicated phenomenon of famine, but it suggested that microstudies were needed to investigate more fully those groups of people within a nation who are vulnerable to famine's ravages (Vestal, 1991). Alemneh Dejene's book is such an investigation based on field work that involved interviews with peasant heads of households, survey questionnaires, participant observation, and case studies of villages and families in Wollo Region and in resettlement sites (for settlers from Wollo) in Illubabor and Keffa in 1987-89. His village level data that identify local, place specific processes that fuel environmental degradation are a welcome addition to famine literature.

Abstract:

ICT is used to enhance the overall activities of individuals, administrative processes of businesses and various governmental and non-governmental organizations. Despite its advantage in all aspects of development, it has drawn low attention in expanding the services in general and utilizing the technology in particular. Therefore, this study was aimed to explore the main factors that affected the usage of ICT in Illubabor zone, Ethiopia. A descriptive cross-sectional study design with quantitative and qualitative data collection method was carried out. The data was collected from 195 samples by using structured questionnaires and observations by employing simple random and purposive sampling techniques. SPSS version 16 was used for data analysis. The study confirmed that lack of computer skill training for staff and lack of sufficient budget for the provision of ICT are the major bottlenecks in expanding ICT service in the zone. Major emphasis should be given in enhancing the awareness of government employees to make use of ICT services in their daily official work.

Abstract:

Background: This study investigates the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of beekeeping in Nadhi-Nono district, Illubabor Zone, Oromia Regional State, Ethiopia. A cross-sectional study was conducted, involving 200 beekeeper households selected from a total of 800 households engaged in honey production. Primary data were gathered through questionnaires containing both open-ended and closed-ended questions, focusing on factors affecting honey production, as well as the demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of the households. Data were analyzed by SPSS V. 25 utilizing both qualitative and quantitative descriptive statistics. Result: The results indicated that 95% of beekeepers were male, while only 5% were female. Beekeeping in the area follows three main systems: traditional, transitional, and modern frame hive production. Traditional hives produced an average of 12 kg of honey per hive annually, with 60% of beekeepers relying on this method. The primary honey harvesting season occurs from November to December (85% of beekeepers), with a secondary season from February to April (15%). Key challenges affecting honey production included honey bee diseases (40%), pests and predators (25%), forage shortages (15%), water scarcity (10%), colony absconding (7%), and pesticide and herbicide misuse (3%). The study emphasizes the need for targeted training and education on honey storage, hive management, seasonal practices, and colony care, particularly during critical periods like dearth seasons and cold weather. Both public and private service providers are encouraged to support beekeepers in improving productivity and sustainability. Conclusion: The Nadhi-Nono district shows high potential for honey production, predominantly using traditional methods. Knowledge transfer within families sustains traditional practices, while literate beekeepers adopt transitional and modern systems. Marketing remains informal, with prices driven by honey color and harvest timing.

Abstract:

Background The main target of tuberculosis control and prevention is to detect incident cases as quickly as possible and also to prevent the occurrence of disease. It is also the responsibility of the health facility to screen the contacts, identifying children for prophylactic therapy. However, the target is difficult to meet due to issues within health facilities that cause health system diagnostic delays. Despite this, there is no information explored why health system diagnostic delays among tuberculosis patients. Method A qualitative study was conducted by using different data collection methods and sources. Seventeen DOT providers, five laboratory professionals, six program managers, and seven Tuberculosis patients were interviewed. In addition, 22 governmental health facilities were observed for the availability of resources. Data obtained from the in-depth interviews was transcribed, coded, categorized, and thematized manually. Result Health system Diagnosis delays reasons were related with sample collection procedures, poor competency of health professionals, in addition to absences or scarcity of health professionals, medical products, and basic infrastructure. We found 18 health facilities without skilled personnel in the OPD, 7 health facilities with a broken microscope, and almost all health facilities without a separate room for sputum examination. Furthermore, 12 (54.5%) and 14 (63.6%) health facilities lacked access to water and electric power, respectively. Conclusion Many reasons for TB diagnosis delays have been identified in the study area. Poor competence of health workers and scarcity of resources were identified. Depending on the finding, we suggest strengthening the health workers’ training. Concrete strategies need to be designed to retain professionals. Training on human resource planning and budget preparation is needed for front-line managers. Managers have to work on the maintenance of diagnostic tools and facilitate transportation. The rural health facilities need to use another alternative power source.

Abstract:

Characterizing seasonal rainfall and identifying its association with the climate drivers are important to produce reliable seasonal climate forecasts of a given area. This study examined the rainfall variability and its relationships with SST, SLP and sunspot indices by statistical methods over Western Oromia. The regional is characterized by monomodal pattern of 60% seasonal rainfall contribution in Kiremt season. High temporal anomaly rainfall but no extremes were observed from 1981-2017. An insignificant decreasing Kiremt and Belg but, an increasing Bega trend was observed. ENSO and PDO/ DMI and AMO showed negative/ positive correlation with kiremt rainfall. ENSO, DMI and AMO showed positive correlation for belg rainfall whereas, PDO showed associated negatively for the most parts of the region. PSI to kiremt/Belg rainfall correlation showed significant positive/Negative spatial association over the western part (West Wolega and Illubabor) / the East part (Jimma & East wollega) of the region. The results showed that there is decreasing trends in rainfall anomalies for main rainy seasons of region and good correlations these various indices. Therefore, it is suggested that seasonal climate predictions may consider these large-scale determinants oscillation indices like AMO and PDO in predicting climatic events.

Abstract:

Currently, the case of divorce is everywhere in the community and its magnitude is increasing at an alarming rate. The increasing rate of divorce negatively affects the wellbeing of the society, and therefore, its adverse effect would be reflected in the building of a strong nation/state. The main objective of this study was to assess the magnitude and associated factors of divorce in the selected Woredas located in Illubabor and Bunno Bedelle Zones. To carry out this study, a qualitative approach and secondary sources of data were employed. The data collected through interviews and secondary sources were analyzed by thematic analysis and descriptive methods. After analysis, the result showed the increasing rate of divorce cases from year to year. The major causal factors for divorce were found to be economic dependency rather than interdependency, lack of regular source of income to sustain a marriage, addictive behaviors (khat and alcohol), external pressure (from family and peer), poor preparation for marriage and intolerance of religious and interest differences. Since the case was worsening, the government should work cooperatively with civil societies on the root factors to minimize the rate of divorce.

Abstract:

The research was assessing the role of private investment in poverty reduction in Jimma and Illibabor zones comparatively. There was almost little study was done in this areas and the research intended to fill such hole. For this purpose, necessary and careful literature reviews were done before. This research is workout by using a qualitative approach of research methodology and as far as the sampling technique concerned, we employed non probability sampling technique. From non probability sampling, purposive sampling technique was chosen. To this effect, Jimma and Illuababor Zones were purposively selected because of their prominence to Jimma university and which helps to save time and to implement one of the well known axiom of JU and that is “we are in the community” to promote the livelihoods of the community. Finally, the data gathered by using primary and secondary sources and the results proved that private investment is very important for the alleviatiation of poverty. For sure, there is a complementary relationship between private investment and poverty reduction. Moreover, the study finally recommends that Jimma and Illubabor zones should seriously work in creating enabling environment for private investment.

Abstract:

Introduction: Diabetic patients’ poor adherence to lifestyle recommendations leads to poor glycemic control and associated micro and macro-vascular complications; however most patients have difficulty in adhering to the lifestyle modifications including physical activity recommendations. This study assessed the magnitude of non-adherence to physical activity recommendation and associated factors among type 2 diabetic patients attending follow up at government hospitals in Ilu Abba Bora Zone, southwestern Ethiopia. Methods: Institution based cross-sectional study was conducted from March 19 to May 19, 2018, among 422 diabetic patients attending regular follow up at government hospitals in Illuababor Zone, Southwest Ethiopia, participants were selected using systematic sampling method. Physical activity adherence was assessed using Global Physical Activity Questionnaire [GPAQ]. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with diabetic patients’ non-adherence to physical activity recommendations. Results: The study found that 38% of diabetic patients were non-adherent to physical activity recommendations. The odds non-adherence to physical activity recommendations was independently associated with patients’ sex (AOR=2 (95%CI:1.2, 3.4)), perceived severity of the illness (AOR=1.7 (95%CI:1.1, 2.8)) and self-efficacy (AOR=2.6 (95%CI:1.6,4.4)). Conclusion and recommendations: High proportions of diabetic patients were non-adherent to physical activity recommendations. Evidence based and Patient centered management plan should be practiced. The results imply that integrating lifestyle modification education focussing on physical activity recommendations should be integrated into diabetic care.

Abstract:

Plants are used by human societies for a variety of purposes, including food, clothing, and shelter, religious rituals, ornamental, and health care. The aim of this study was to investigate an ethnobotanical study of medicinal plants and related indigenous knowledge of the community of the study area. A crossectional study design was employed and Semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect ethnobotanical information from 325 informants. Informants were sampled by using Cochran sample size formula and Snowball technique was used to select informants. Moreover, semi-structured interview, group discussion, market survey, guided field walk and observation were methods of ethnobotanical data collection. SPSS version 25 and MS excel spreadsheet version 16 were used to analyze ethnobotanical data. Ninety three (93) plant species belonging to 77 genera and 39 families were documented. The most frequently reported plant species belong to family Asteraceae 12 (12.9%) followed by Fabaceae 10 (10.8%), Solonaceae 8 (8.6%) and Lamiaceae 7 (7.5%) family. Herbs accounted the highest proportion 42 (45.16%) followed by tree 25 (26.88%). Most of the herbal remedies were prepared from leaves 66 (50.4%) followed by fruits 16 (12.4%). Most of the herbal medicines were prepared from fresh 110 (84.3%) plants and mode of preparation was mostly by crushing 52 (39.69%). Among mode of administration of medicinal plants oral route 84 (64.1%) was the dominant route of administration. The study area is rich in medicinally important plant species and it is a good reservoir of medicinal plants.

Abstract:

The study examined soil fertility status under different land use types and its management practices in Bure district of Illubabor zone, southwest Ethiopia. A structured questionnaire survey of 546 randomly selected smallholder farmers was employed to collect data, along with focus group discussions, key informant interviews, and personal observations. In addition, thirty-two composite soil samples were taken at a depth of 0-30 cm from forest, grazing, and cultivated lands to determine soil fertility status. The data were analyzed using ANOVA and descriptive statistics. The findings of the soil analysis showed that the distribution of soil particle sizes, available phosphorus, total nitrogen, soil organic carbon, organic matter, and cation exchange capacity varied significantly (p<0.05) between forest, grazing, and cultivated lands. The findings also showed that when land use and cover shifted from forests to cultivated and grazing lands, soil fertility decreased. The pH of the soil under cultivated land was found to be highly acidic, while the soil under forest and grazing lands was found to be strongly acidic. The most widely used soil fertility management practices were the application of miner fertilizer, building of bunds, planting of vetiver grass, contour plowing, crop rotation, straw and mulching, and agroforestry practices. The findings of this study suggest that in highly acidic soils found in cultivated lands, applying an adequate amount of lime can help to enhance soil fertility and boost land productivity.

Abstract:

The objective of this study was to find out the influence of altitude of coffee plant and soil pH and organic carbon on alkaloid contents of green coffee beans. The alkaloids content of 54 green coffee beans samples collected from coffee plants in Sidama, Illubabor, Jimma, Wellega and Gedeo in southern region of Ethiopia grown at different altitudes (1515-2220 masl)was determined by high performance liquid chromatography. The caffeine and trigonelline were found in the range of 0.68-1.74% (w/w) and 0.68-1.44% (w/w), respectively. Theobromine was detected in only 18 samples and ranged 0.0186-0.32% (w/w). It was not detected in 36 samples.  Theophylline was not detected in any of the green coffee beans samples. A weak negative correlation (R = -0.222) was found between the caffeine contents and the altitude of the coffee plants while a very weak positive correlation (R = 0.072) was found between the trigonelline contents and the altitude of the coffee plants. A strong negative correlation (R =    -0.775) was found between the trigonelline contents and the caffeine content. A weak negative correlation was found between the caffeine contents and the soil organic carbon (R = -0.279) and between the trigonelline contents and the soil organic carbon (R = -0.101) while a weak positive correlation was found between the caffeine contents and the soil pH (R = 0.173) and between the trigonelline contents and the soil pH (R = 0.358) at which the coffee plants were grown.

Abstract:

Background: Hypertension is a growing public health problem in many developing countries. Ethiopia is one of the lower income countries that has been affected by double burden diseases. Different literature showed the burden of hypertension becomes increased from time to time. However, its prevention and control has not yet received due attention. In Ethiopia little research conducted only in the big city like Addis Ababa and around the central part of the country. Objective: This study aims to determine the prevalence and associated factors of hypertension among adults in selected towns in Illubabor Zone of Oromia National regiona Statel, South-West Ethiopia. Methods: A community based cross-sectional study was conducted. Participants aged 25 years and older was recruited using multi-stage random sampling technique. A stratified multistage sampling procedure was carried out to select the study subjects and face to face interview with Afan Oromo and Amharic version interviewer administered questionnaire, followed with amphothrophic measurements was employed on 668 adults. Result: The mean SBP and the mean DBP were 112.23±14.15 mmHg and 77.22±8.34 mmHg respectively. Among 648 participants, the 92(14.2%) study subject were shown having hypertension of which 42.4% had reported their blood pressure measured at least once before. Only 27.7% were aware of their hypertension. In this study Age AOR (1.63(1.77,1.84)*) and binge alcohol consumption AOR(1.24(1.14,1.64)*) were significantly associated with hypertension. Conclusion and Recommendation: In this study the magnitude of hypertension was significantly increased. Since the study people include all the adult people living in urban and rural, the previous trend of the case commonly seen in urban indicated changed so that hypertension expanded in rural area. Majority of independent variables showed no association with hypertension. Age and binge alcohol consumption were the only variable found to be significantly associated with hypertension. Health extension workers and Health Professional in Iluababor Zone must give awareness for the community about hypertension at House hold level by giving attention for the adult people living in both urban and rural. The government multimedia must arrange the stage for those concerned body in the health office together with health professional to educate the community on the risks of hypertension and ways of prevention. Key Words: Hypertension, alcohol consumption, physical inactivity, cigarette smoking

Abstract:

Background: Improving quality of family planning services offers many benefits. Good quality family planning service helps individuals and couples meet their reproductive health needs.  Ethiopia is Africa’s second largest Country after Nigeria, with the total population of 99.391.000, Million according to last figure of 2015, and the Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey (EDHS-2016) shows the actual Contraceptive Practice among women of reproductive age group was 36%, as per the Central Statistical Agency office reported on June 2016. Therefore, it is imperative to assess the quality of family planning service offered to this population. Objective: The objective of this research was to assess the quality of Family Planning services in terms of client perspectives in Metu Karl Referral Hospital, Illu Aba bor zone, South West Ethiopia. Methods: Facility based cross-sectional study was conducted from July, 2017 up to August 30, 2017 on 523 clients.  Family planning users who came to FP clinic during the study period and who met the inclusion criteria were interviewed using structured questionnaire. The data were entered into EPI data version 3.0 and exported to SPSS version 20 computer software for analysis. Both Bivariate and multivariate analysis were used. Result: A total of 523 clients were enrolled to this study making the response rate 98.3 %. The overall level of satisfaction was approximately 78/%.  In the multi variable logistic regression analysis, education status  [(AOR = 4.31 95% CI (1.78, 10.46)], convenience  of clinic opening hour [AOR = 8.76 and 95 % CI (4.10, 18.71)],  maintaining  privacy during examination and procedure [AOR = 19.24 and 95 %CI (8.87, 41.71)], advise on how to use the method [AOR = 5.84 and 95 % CI (2.91, 11.73)], and being informed on possible side effects [AOR = 5.29, 95 % CI (2.64,10.65) were significantly associated with client satisfaction.

Abstract:

The specialty coffee sector represents opportunities for coffee farmers and other actors due to increased value within the supply chain, driven by elevated consumer purchase prices. We investigated these relationships up to the export stage, as well as the potential for specialty coffee to improve stakeholder participation in biodiversity conservation. Household data was collected from a sample of 272 coffee farmers belonging to five primary cooperatives, in the heavily forested area of Yayu, in the Illubabor administrative zone of Oromia regional state in south-western Ethiopia, for the 2017/2018 harvest season. Qualitative and quantitative data, gathered between 2015 and 2019, from focus group discussions, was used to supplement the survey and to explain the empirical findings. We show that the income from coffee (and thus household income) can be increased, in some cases substantially, via participation in the specialty coffee market. The unit price for coffee was much higher than standard market prices and those including certification premiums. Whilst quality is a key factor for specialty coffee, income increases via the specialty market are caveat bound. In particular, there is a critical requirement for efficient and effective cooperative management, and we provide suggestions for improvements. In the long-term, more focus is needed to increase the financial and human capacities of Ethiopian coffee cooperatives, to make them more effective partners in the specialty coffee value chain. The high conversion rates from harvested to clean exportable specialty coffee (8:1, or higher) is identified as a major constraint on profitability. We show that specialty coffee can bring about positive environmental benefits. Elevating coffee prices and farm profitability to bring household income levels to around or above the global poverty line may ensure the continuation of forest coffee production, and thus the retention of forest. The increases in income via specialty coffee production, reported in the study, were achieved without increasing land use or the application of environmentally costly inputs. Moreover, analysis of satellite data shows that a large proportion of the coffee farms surveyed retain a level of forest cover and quality approaching primary (undisturbed) forest, and that the coffee production area at Yayu has not experienced any significant deforestation (since 2000). We recommend that coffee premiums linked to environmental benefit should demonstrate clearly defined and appropriate metrics, as we have demonstrated here for forest (canopy) quality and coverage (area).

Abstract:

Abstract Drilini are soft-bodied predatory click-beetles (Elateridae: Agrypninae) with incompletely metamorphosed females. Due to divergent morphology, their classification has been contentious. We present the first densely sampled molecular phylogeny of Drilini based on nuclear and mitochondrial markers. Altogether, 44 species, representing all genera, were analysed using maximum likelihood and the Bayesian approach. Molecular analyses recovered five major clades that were also well supported by morphology. Afrotropical lineages mark deep splits. Most Palearctic species belong to a terminal clade. A few species of the predominantly Afrotropical Selasia are distributed from Arabia up to the Himalayas and Thailand. The origin of Drilini is dated to the Late Eocene (~35.5 Mya) and rapid radiation is identified from the Eocene/Oligocene to the Middle Miocene. We describe the gradual transformation of male morphological traits, e.g. the level of sclerotization, structure of mouthparts, loss of the thoracic interlocking mechanism, shortened elytra and expanded larviform abdomen. Five new genera, Austroselasia, Habeshaselasia, Illubaboria, Malacodrilus and Mashaselasia are proposed. Latoselasia, previously a subgenus of Wittmerselasia, is elevated to the genus rank. Five new species, Habeshaselasia nekemtensis, H. illubaborensis, Illubaboria bicolor, Malacodrilus hajeki and Mashaselasia aethiopica are described.

Abstract:

This study was undertaken on bovine trypanosomia sis and its vectors at Birbir valley located in Darmu district, Illubababor zone. The parasitological examination was conducted using Buffy coat technique while vector survey was conducted using odour baited Monopyramidal trap. The objective of the study w as to determine the prevalence of trypanosomiasis in cattle, to determine fly density and to identify associated risk factors. From 392 Blood samples were collected, 45(11.5%) were found to be positive by Buffy coat technique and trypanosome species identi fied by their motility were T.congolense 40 (88.9%) and T.vivax 5(11.1 %) and Trypanosoma congolense was the dominant species. A total of 52 Monopyramidal traps were deployed and 1836 (73%) tsetse flies and 676(26.9%) biting flies were caught. From flies c aptured, 971(52.9%), 540(29.4%) and 325(17.7%) Glossina morsitans sub morsitans of savannah flies, Glossina fuscipes fuscipes of reverine and Glossina pallidipes of savannah species were identified respectively. The overall apparent densities fly / trap / day (FTD) were 17.7 and 6.5 for tsetse and biting flies respectively. There was no statically significant difference (P > 0.05) in the prevalence of trypanosome infection between sex group while statistically significant difference was observed between age group(x 2 =41.0, p=0.000 , p<0.05). The mean PCV of the parasitemic and aparasitemic animals were 21.3% and 24.3% respectively .The difference between the mean PCV value of the parasitemic and apparasitemic animals were statistically significant(P< 0.05). Designing and implementation of trypanosomosis control should be targeted to the major cyclically transmitting tsetse flies.

Abstract:

Background: Lumpy skin disease is one of the most economically important viral diseases of cattle and Asian water buffalo caused by lumpy skin disease virus, which occurs in most African countries including Ethiopia. In Ethiopia, it has been detected in exotic and local breed cattle. To this end, there is scarcity of information on its epidemic status, among cattle in Illubabor, Ethiopia. Therefore, outbreak investigation was conducted to estimate epidemic status of lumpy skin disease among cattle in illubabor zone, Yayo district. Methodology: Outbreak investigation was done from August to December 2020 in the Ilubabor zone, Yayo district, with the goal of isolating and detecting the virus using molecular methods. All ages and both sexes of local breed cattle from reported disease outbreaks of the study area were subjected to the study. Skin biopsies (n=44) were collected from non-vaccinated lumpy skin disease affected cattle after examining the presence of skin lesions and transported to NAHDIC for laboratory test. Virus was isolated by growing on Vero cells and molecular detection was performed by conventional and real-time polymerase chain reaction. Results: The characteristic capripoxvirus cytopathic effect was observed on 17 out of 44 Vero cells inoculated. Out of the total 44 samples, 88.63% (39/44) and (95.45%) 42/44 were found positive for LSDV by conventional and real time polymerase chain reaction respectively. Chi-square (x²) test was used to assess the association of sex and ages with affected group. Morbidity, mortality and case fatality rates were 15.49%, 1.4% and 9.09% respectively. Adult cattle showed higher morbidity (17.18%) than young ones (11.1%). Also not statistically significant, higher morbidity was observed in female (16.66%) than male (14.11%) cattle. Conclusion: The study showed that lumpy skin disease was circulating in cattle in the area and causing great loss to the farmers with high morbidity rates. To reduce economic losses caused by the disease, it was suggested that strategic programs for effective control and prevention be established.

Abstract:

Information on the traditional tick control methods used in Keffa, Illubabor and Wellega Provinces in western Ethiopia was obtained from 86 veterinary clinics and 865 peasant farmers through a questionnaire survey. Latexes of Euphorbia obovalifolia and Ficus brachypoda, juice of crushed leaves of Phytolaca dodecandra and Vernonia amygdalina, fruit juice of Solanum incanum, crushed seeds of Lepidium sativum mixed with fresh cattle faeces, juice of crushed leaves and bark of Calpurnea aurea and commercially available spice of Capsicum spp. mixed with butter, were used by peasant farmers to control ticks. Preliminary in vitro efficacy tests of these plant preparations were performed on engorged female Boophilus decoloratus. Preparations of Capsicum spp., E. obovalifolia, S. incanum and F. brachypoda were found to have 30-100 % killing effects. Subsequently, in vivo treatment trials of these preparations were conducted using indigenous Bos indicus cattle naturally infested with ticks. Results indicate that treatments at the rate of once per day for 5 consecutive days with the latexes of E. obovalifolia and F. brachypoda can reduce tick burdens by up to 70 % on cattle.

Abstract:

A cross-sectional study was conducted from February 2020 to December 2020 to determine the seroprevalence and associated risk factors of Newcastle disease in selected districts of Illubabor Zone, South-western Ethiopia. Districts were selected by convenient sampling method and PAs were selected randomly. A total of 384 serum samples were collected from chicken of greater than 3 weeks of age and a serological test was conducted using Indirect ELISA. The Indirect ELISA test identified the overall seroprevalence of avian paramyxovirus serotype-1 (APMV-1) 16.93% (65) (95% CI: 13.2-20.7%). This study estimated 12% (95% CI: 5.6-18.4%), 16.8% (95% CI: 10.1-23.5%), and 20% (13.9- 26.1%) seroprevalence of Newcastle disease in Hurumu, BiloNopa, and Metu districts respectively. Among the individual chicken risk factors assessed; sex (OR: 2.93, 95% CI: 1.35-6.38, P=0.007) and from flock level risk factors, flock size (OR=1.23, 95% CI=1.006-1.27, P=0.039) and disposal of dead chickens (OR: 11.67, 95% CI: 3.58-38.02, P<0.001) were significantly associated with seroprevalence of Newcastle disease. The results of the present study revealed higher seroprevalence of Newcastle disease in the study area and deserved the implementation of appropriate preventive and control measures and further studies should be undertaken to identify types of strains circulating in this area.

Abstract:

AbstractHIV is a worldwide social and health pandemic that poses a significant problem. This study contributes to the 2030 global agenda of reducing HIV prevalence. The study analyzed HIV prevalence using the 2016 Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey data. The study included men aged 15–54 years and women aged 15–49 years who responded to questions about HIV tests. A generalized geo-additive model (GAM) was fitted to HIV data using nonparametric smooth terms for geolocations. Two smoothing techniques were used in GAMs to evaluate spatial disparities and the probable effects of variables on HIV risk. There were certain areas in Ethiopia that were identified as hot spot zones for HIV, including Nuer and Agnuak in Gambella, West Wollega and Illubabor in Oromia, Benchi Maji and Shaka in SNNPR, Awsi, Fantana, Kilbet, and Gabi in the Afar region, Shinilie of the Somalia region, North and South Wollo, Oromia special zones of the Amhara region, Central Ethiopia, and Addis Ababa city. On the other hand, the eastern parts of Ethiopia, particularly most zones in the Somalia region, were identified as cold spot zones with the lowest HIV odds ratio. The odds of HIV+ were higher for those who reside in rural areas than in urban areas. Furthermore, people who have STIs, who used contraceptive methods, and who learned at the secondary level of education were more likely to be infected with HIV. After adjusting for confounding variables, the results indicated that there are substantially significant spatial variations in HIV prevalence across Ethiopian zones. These results provide essential information to strategically target geographic areas to allocate resources and policy interventions at zonal level administrations.

Abstract:

BackgroundYoung people are less informed, less experienced, and less at ease when it comes to accessing reproductive health services than adults. Though youth-friendly services are designed to accommodate the unique needs of youth, in developing countries like Ethiopia, studies on the level of utilization of reproductive health services are limited.ObjectivesThis study determined the level of reproductive health (RH) service use and associated factors among youths.MethodsA community-based cross-sectional study was conducted in Becho district, Illubabor zone, southwest Ethiopia. A multistage random sampling technique was used to select 702 youths, regardless of their marital status. A pre-tested interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to collect data. The questionnaire includes questions on socio-demographic characteristics, sexual and reproductive health characteristics, knowledge, and components of RH assessment. The data was entered into Epidata version 3.1 and analyzed using SPSS version 22. Multivariable binary logistic regression analysis was used to identify factors associated with the utilization of reproductive health services at a p &lt; 0.05.ResultsA total of 647 youths participated in the study, constituting a response rate of 92.1%. Male youths made up 51.5% of the respondents, with an average (±SD) age of 19.38 (±2.69) years. Reproductive health (RH) services were utilized by 43.9% of youths. Knowledge of RH services (AOR = 4.11; 95% CI: 2.77, 6.09), discussion with family (AOR = 2.18; 95% CI: 1.38, 3.45), history of sexual exposure (AOR = 2.94; 95% CI: 1.95, 4.43), shorter distance from a health facility (AOR = 2.42; 95% CI: 1.63, 3.57), and history of reproductive health problems (AOR = 2.4; 95% CI: 1.34, 4.31) were associated with RH service utilization.ConclusionThe use of reproductive health services among youths is found to be low. Knowledge about reproductive health services, discussion with parents, sexual exposure, distance, and previous experience with reproductive health problems shaped the utilization of RH services by youth. Improving knowledge through information dissemination, creating awareness to increase parent-child intimacy, and expanding health services should be emphasized.
