Molecular detection and antibiotic resistance profile of Escherichia coli and closely related Enterobacteriaceae from cattle carcasses and meat contact surfaces at slaughterhouses in Abuja, Nigeria
Introduction Escherichia coli contaminations of edible animal products reflects hygiene failures along the slaughter and processing value chains and represent a significant public health concern, particularly when isolates harbour antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs). This study assessed the prevalence, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) patterns, and ARG profiles of presumptive E. coli recovered from cattle carcasses and meat-contact surfaces in a …
Socio-economic indicators, housing characteristics, site of residence, and substance use as household-level risk factors in GRT-INSPIRED communities
Introduction: Substance use remains a major public health concern in South Africa and disproportionately affects urban communities experiencing socio-economic disadvantage, poor housing conditions, and spatial inequality. While existing research has largely focused on individual-level substance use, less is known about how household socio-economic characteristics, housing conditions, and place of residence shape household-level substance use in u…
Factors Correlated with Home Gardening in Gauteng Province, South Africa
The low participation levels in home gardening observed suggest the failure of the current policies geared at fostering home gardening in the province. Policy makers and relevant authorities should target identified groups to improve participation in home gardening
The impact of the 2014–2016 drought in Greater Letaba Local Municipality
From 2012, Limpopo province experienced extremely dry conditions that culminated in a meteorological drought between 2014 and 2016. There is no evidence of studies that have documented how the smallholder livestock farmers in the area were impacted. This study investigated factors that were associated with loss of livestock and the coping strategies farmers adopted. A cross-sectional questionnaire based survey was adopted for this study. Structur…
Social capital and self-rated health of residents of Gauteng province
Although social capital has been linked to population health, there is a dearth of studies on the phenomenon especially in sub-Saharan Africa. We investigated the individual and contextual effects of social capital indicators (group membership, registered to vote, perception towards safety in community and generalised trust) on the self-rated health (SRH) of the residents of Gauteng province. We used data from the 2015 Quality of Life (QoL) surve…
Spatial Patterns of Anthrax Outbreaks and Cases among Livestock in Lesotho, 2005–2016
Anthrax outbreaks and cases exclusively occur in the Lowlands districts of Lesotho, with villages such as Mahobong, Pitseng, Kolo, and Thaba-Chitja having a higher risk of anthrax disease. Findings of the present study have serious public health implications in light of the fact that between 2003 and 2008 Lesotho's main abattoir was closed; hence, most of the meat in Lesotho was imported and/or sourced from the informal slaughter facilities. Much…
Assessment of the Occupational Health and Food Safety Risks Associated with the Traditional Slaughter and Consumption of Goats in Gauteng, South Africa
Men are at a higher risk of occupational health hazards associated with traditional slaughter, which can be transferred to their households. Unhygienic methods of processing and the lack of any form of post-mortem examination increase the risk of food-borne illness following the consumption of such meat
