Article Synopsis
- Crop foraging by primates, particularly olive baboons and grivet monkeys, poses significant economic challenges to subsistence farmers in southern Ethiopia, especially near protected areas, leading to substantial maize damage.* -
- The study, conducted over 12 months with a team of experts and farmers, found that maize damage was worse in protected fields (43.1% loss) compared to unprotected fields (31.4%), with the highest damage occurring near the forest edge.* -
- Despite attempts to deter primates with wire mesh fencing and human guarding, the measures were largely ineffective, emphasizing the need for improved strategies to resolve human-wildlife conflict and protect both farmers' livelihoods and primate conservation.*
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.
Diagnosis of Human Leptospirosis: Comparison of Microscopic Agglutination Test with Recombinant LigA/B Antigen-Based In-House IgM Dot ELISA Dipstick Test and Latex Agglutination Test Using Bayesian Latent Class Model and MAT as Gold Standard.

Article Synopsis
- Leptospirosis is a widespread spirochaetal infection that affects a variety of mammals, and this study compares diagnostic methods for detecting it in humans.
- The research evaluates the microscopic agglutination test (MAT) against two point-of-care tests: the IgM dot ELISA dipstick test (IgM-DED) and the latex agglutination test (LAT), using Bayesian latent class modeling to analyze their effectiveness.
- Results show that the IgM-DED and LAT provide high sensitivity for early detection of leptospirosis, outperforming the single MAT test, and suggest that these point-of-care tests are practical for use in remote areas, while combining acute and convalescent samples significantly boosts MAT sensitivity.
Identifying context-specific barriers to integration is essential to achieve the elimination of trachoma as a public health problem.

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.
