is a blood sucking parasite resulting a massive economic loss in tropical and subtropical sheep rearing areas. A cross-sectional study was conducted to estimate the prevalence of haemonchosis and its predictors at Bahir Dar municipal abattoir, northwestern Ethiopia, from December 2022 to April 2023. A total of 378 abomasum of sheep were taken by using systematic random sampling and inspected according to standard procedures. Accordingly, the findings of this study revealed an overall prevalence of 34.40% (30/378) (95% CI: 29.75-39.35). The presence of in female sheep (46.41%) was significantly higher than in male (23.35%) ( < 0.001). The same is true; prevalence of haemonchosis in young (<1 year) sheep was 43.33% significantly ( < 0.001) higher than that of adult (≥1 year) which was 26.26%. Based the origin of the animals in the current study, it was nonsignificant variation ( = 0.386). The current study depicted that infection is a common parasitic disease and requires remarkable attention to the prevention and control of haemonchosis at the study area.

Biointerface sensing is a cutting-edge interdisciplinary field that merges conceptual and practical aspects. Wearable bioelectronics enable efficient interaction and close contact with biological components such as tissues and organs, paving the way for a wide range of medical applications, including personal health monitoring and medical intervention. To be applicable in real-world settings, the patches must be stable and adhere to the skin without causing discomfort or allergies in both wet and dry conditions, as well as other desirable features such as being ultra-soft, thin, flexible, and stretchable.
