  • Pathways of exposure to Vibrio Cholerae in an urban informal settlement in Nairobi, Kenya

    Open AccessKelvin Kering, Yuke Wang et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Cholera is a diarrhoeal disease caused by Vibrio cholerae ( V . cholerae ) bacterium, with strains belonging to serogroups 01 and 0139 causing a huge proportion of the disease. V . cholerae can contaminate drinking water sources and food through poor sanitation and hygiene. This study aimed to identify environmental routes of exposure to V . cholerae within Mukuru informal settlement in Nairobi. We collected nine types of environmental samples (d…

  • Regional and temporal variations in Covid-19 cases and deaths in Ethiopia

    Open AccessGizaw Teka, Adane Woldeab et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Background The COVID-19 pandemic is one of the most devastating public health emergencies of international concern to have occurred in the past century. To ensure a safe, scalable, and sustainable response, it is imperative to understand the burden of disease, epidemiological trends, and responses to activities that have already been implemented. We aimed to analyze how COVID-19 tests, cases, and deaths varied by time and region in the general po…

  • Sars-CoV-2 co-detection with influenza and human respiratory syncytial virus in Ethiopia

    Open AccessWolde Shure, Adamu Tayachew et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    SARS-CoV-2 co-infection with the influenza virus or human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) may complicate its progress and clinical outcomes. However, data on the co-detection of SARS-CoV-2 with other respiratory viruses are limited in Ethiopia and other parts of Africa to inform evidence-based response and decision-making. We analyzed 4,989 patients’ data captured from the national severe acute respiratory illness (SARI) and influenza-like illn…

  • Campylobacter Colonization, Environmental Enteric Dysfunction, Stunting, and Associated Risk Factors Among Young Children in Rural Ethiopia

    Open AccessDehao Chen, Sarah Mckune et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2021

    Livestock farming provides a possible mechanism by which smallholder farmers can meet their household need for animal source foods (ASF), which may reduce the risk of stunting. However, direct/indirect contacts with domestic animals may increase colonization by Campylobacter spp., which has been associated with Environmental Enteric Dysfunction (EED) and stunting. A cross-sectional study involving 102 randomly selected children between 12 and 16 …

  • Co-occurrence of Campylobacter Species in Children From Eastern Ethiopia, and Their Association With Environmental Enteric Dysfunction, Diarrhea, and Host Microbiome

    Open AccessYitagele Terefe, Loïc Deblais et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2020

    High Campylobacter prevalence during early childhood has been associated with stunting and environmental enteric dysfunction (EED), especially in low-resource settings. This study assessed the prevalence, diversity, abundance, and co-occurrence of Campylobacter spp. in stools from children in a rural area of eastern Ethiopia and their association with microbiome, diarrhea, and EED in children. Stool samples (n=100) were collected from randomly se…

  • Community engagement and building trust to resolve ethical challenges during humanitarian crises

    Open AccessGetnet Yimer, Wondwossen A Gebreyes et al.ARTICLEConflict and Health2020

    The hostility and mistrust led to fear among the data collectors. These and the resulting strategies to address them resulted in delays for the research. However, the interventions taken resulted in successful completion of the field activities. Moreover, the lessons learned from this project are already being implemented with other projects being conducted in various parts of Ethiopia

  • Occurrence of KPC-Producing Escherichia coli in Psittaciformes Rescued from Trafficking in Paraíba, Brazil

    Open AccessGedean Galdino da Cruz Silva, Eloiza Helena Campana et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2020

    The emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance pose a threat to public health globally. Antibiotic-resistant bacteria and genes can disseminate among environments, animals and humans. Therefore, investigation into potential reservoirs of multidrug-resistant bacteria is of great importance to the understanding of putative transmission routes of resistant bacteria and resistance genes. This study aimed to report the occurrence of Escherichia …
