  • Prevalence of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli, Salmonella, and Campylobacter species among diarrheal patients from three major hospitals in Ethiopia

    Open AccessAmete Mihret Teshale, Woldaregay Erku Abegaz et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Diarrheal illness remains a major global health challenge, causing millions of deaths annually. Non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS), Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC), and Campylobacter species (CAMPY) significantly contribute to this burden. Given the limited information on these pathogens in Ethiopia, this study aimed to estimate their prevalence among diarrhea patients in Ethiopia and identify risk factors for infection. A cross-section…

  • Diagnostic performance of PfHRP2/pLDH malaria rapid diagnostic tests in elimination setting, northwest Ethiopia

    Open AccessMelkamu Tiruneh Zeleke, Kassahun Alemu Gelaye et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Accurate diagnosis of malaria is vital for the effectiveness of parasite clearance interventions in elimination settings. Thus, evaluating the diagnostic performance of rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) used in malaria parasite clearance interventions in elimination settings is essential. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of rapid diagnostic tests recently used in detecting malaria parasites in northwest Ethiopia. A f…

  • Baseline malaria prevalence at the targeted pre-elimination districts in Ethiopia

    Open AccessDesalegn Nega, Adugna Abera et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    The study shows a decrease in malaria prevalence compared to the reports of previous malaria indicator surveys in the country. The finding can be used as a baseline for measuring the achievement of ongoing malaria elimination efforts. Particularly, the high prevalence of asymptomatic individuals (0.88%) in these transmission settings indicates there may be sustaining hidden transmission. Therefore, active case detection with more sensitive diagno…

  • Establishment of Covid-19 testing laboratory in resource-limited settings

    Open AccessAdugna Abera, Habtamu Gebrehana Belay et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2020

    The Coronavirus pandemic is recording unprecedented deaths worldwide. The temporal distribution and burden of the disease varies from setting to setting based on economic status, demography and geographic location. A rapid increase in the number of COVID-19 cases is being reported in Africa as of June 2020. Ethiopia reported the first COVID-19 case on 13 March 2020. Limited molecular laboratory capacity in resource constrained settings is a chall…

  • Low-cost liquid medium for in vitro cultivation of Leishmania parasites in low-income countries

    Open AccessGeremew Tasew, Amha Kebede et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2009

    BACKGROUND: Prompt laboratory diagnosis and initiation of treatment are effective components of leishmaniasis control. Detection of Leishmania parasites by ex-vivo culture of lesion scrapings is considered a definitive diagnostic method preceding initiation of treatment. OBJECTIVE: A pilot study to find alternative medium that could reduce the cost of culturing from patient lesions for diagnosing leishmaniasis. METHOD: GALF-1 medium was formulate…
