Fascioliasis and schistosomiasis are parasitic trematodiases of public health and economic concern in humans and livestock. However, data on the distribution and risk factors for fascioliasis remain limited, while epidemiological gaps hinder schistosomiasis control in Tanzania. This One Health, cross-sectional study examined the prevalence and risk factors of schistomiasis and fascioliasis in northern Tanzania, involving 310 livestock and 317 human participants from Arusha, Kilimanjaro, and Manyara regions.

- Campylobacteriosis and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) are major global concerns, especially in Africa, which has the highest campylobacteriosis rates and significant AMR prevalence in Campylobacter spp. from humans and animals.
- A study analyzed 178 Campylobacter isolates (81 from human diarrheal patients in Kenya and 97 from poultry in Tanzania) between 2006-2017, using whole-genome sequencing and antimicrobial susceptibility testing.
- The findings revealed high sequence type diversity and noted that multidrug resistance was significantly higher in poultry (40.9%) compared to humans (2.5%), highlighting the need for better antimicrobial management in livestock.
