Introduction: Pathogenic strains cause diarrheal infection in children due to their virulence factors. A nonanalytical observational study followed by a purposive sampling technique was conducted from October 2017 to June 2018, to determine the antimicrobial susceptibility patterns and molecularly detect pathogenic strains in under-five children at Wolaita Sodo town using molecular and the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method.
Result: In the current investigation, out of 110 stool samples, was isolated in 68 (61.
Introduction: are among the major causes of mortality and morbidity in under-five children in developing nations including Ethiopia.
Methods: A non-analytical observational study design followed by a purposive sampling technique was conducted from October 2017 to June 2018, to isolate and determine its associated risk factors from diarrheic children that were admitted to Christian hospital, Wolaita Sodo town. was confirmed using standard culture and biochemical analyses of the bacterium.
Introduction: Ticks are major health problems of goats that contribute to a significant economic loss in Ethiopia.
Methods: A cross-sectional study using a systematic random sampling technique was conducted to determine the prevalence, potential risk factors of hard ticks (Acarina: Ixodidae) of goats, and the acaricide utilization practice of herd owners in the Benatsemay district.
Results: Out of 285 examined goats, 85.
A preliminary study was conducted in January 2009 in four peasant associations (PAs) selected from two districts in Benishangul Gumuz Regional State, Northwest Ethiopia to investigate the prevalence and species of trypanosomes infecting donkeys and mules and identify the fly vectors playing a role in the transmission of trypanosomosis. Blood samples were collected from a total of 334 donkeys and 52 mules and examined by dark ground/phase contrast buffy coat technique and Giemsa-stained blood smears. Accordingly, trypanosome species were encountered in 6.
