  • Acceptability of insecticide treated nets in an urban setting in a malarious area

    Open AccessSosina W Tilahun, Berhan Tassaw et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    Malaria has long been considered a rural disease. However, rapid urbanization, the expansion of urban malaria vectors, and the subsequent, ongoing surge in malaria cases across sub-Saharan Africa, including Ethiopia, underscore the need to address malaria in urban contexts. This study therefore aims to explore the acceptability of insecticide-treated bed nets (ITNs) in an urban setting using the theoretical framework of acceptability. Eight Focus…

  • QPCR in a suitcase for rapid Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax surveillance in Ethiopia

    Open AccessLise Carlier, Sarah Cate Baker et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    Many Plasmodium spp. infections, both in clinical and asymptomatic patients, are below the limit of detection of light microscopy or rapid diagnostic test (RDT). Molecular diagnosis by qPCR can be valuable for surveillance, but is often hampered by absence of laboratory capacity in endemic countries. To overcome this limitation, we optimized and tested a mobile qPCR laboratory for molecular diagnosis in Ziway, Ethiopia, where transmission intensi…

  • Magnitude and factors associated with anxiety and depression among patients with breast cancer in central Ethiopia

    Open AccessWinini Belay, Wajana Lako Labisso et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2022

    In this study, the prevalence of anxiety and depression was high among patients with breast cancer, and the lack of financial support and poor patient-provider interactions were significant predictors of anxiety and depression among these groups of patients. Patients with cancer need regular screening for mental health and better emotional support from their healthcare providers and families to prevent and treat anxiety and depression

  • Burden of malaria, impact of interventions and climate variability in Western Ethiopia

    Open AccessWerissaw Haileselassie, Daniel M Parker et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2022

    Malaria was and will remain to be a major public health problem in the area. The social and economic impact of the disease on the local community is clearly pronounced as it is the leading cause of health facility visit and admission including the mortality associated with it. Scale up of effective interventions is quite important. Continuous monitoring of the performance of the vector control tools needs to be done
