infection in slaughtered domestic ruminants in Northwest Ethiopia: occurrence, bioassay and virulence assessment.

This study investigated the occurrence, isolation and virulence of in slaughtered domestic ruminants in Gondar, Northwest Ethiopia. Three hundred thirty-five blood samples (135 sheep, 50 goats, and 150 cattle) were purposefully collected from abattoirs and slaughterhouses. antibodies were assessed using a commercial Toxo-Latex agglutination test.

Detection and Antimicrobial Resistance of Species from Chicken, Chicken Litter, and Humans in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

Background: In veterinary medicine, three species are of particular importance as primary causes of specific diseases; (mastitis in ruminants, equine botryomycosis, and bumble foot in poultry), (porcine exudative epidermitis), and (canine pyoderma). The disease conditions caused by in poultry vary with site, route, and predisposing factors include wounds as a result of fighting/cannibalism, immunosuppression based on virus infection or parasite infestation, and bad husbandry conditions (overcrowding). The objectives of this study were to isolate and identify spp from chicken and chicken litter and personnel at chicken farm and to determine the antimicrobial susceptibility profile of the isolates.

Seroepidemiology of Among Pregnant Women Attending Antenatal Care in Northwest Ethiopia.

Introduction: Toxoplasmosis is a life-threatening disease in pregnant women, having social and economic impacts due to congenital toxoplasmosis. However, in Ethiopia, it is neglected zoonotic disease, which requires screening and identifying risk factors in pregnant women to plan a public health intervention.

Methods: This institutional-based cross-sectional study was employed from March to April 2019 to estimate the seropositivity and assess potential risk factors for among pregnant women attending antenatal care in four public hospitals in Northwest Ethiopia.
