Microbiological quality assessment of fish origin food along the production chain in upper Blue Nile watershed, Ethiopia.

Pathogenic microorganisms can grow accidentally on fish origin human food and can be a cause of human food-borne illness. The purpose of this study was to estimate the occurrence and microbial load pattern of , , , and spp. along the fish origin food value chain.

Organochlorine pesticides residue affinity in fish muscle and their public health risks in North West Ethiopia.

Pesticides are the parent compounds, their metabolites, and associated impurities of agricultural and health chemical inputs. If they are found at concentration levels higher than the standard limits, they have potential negative impacts on the ecosystem in general and on fish and humans in particular. This study investigates organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) residue occurrences in fish muscle and assesses their public health potential risks, in North West Ethiopia.
