From visceral to visible: A systematic review and meta-analysis of post-kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis incidence, risk factors, and treatment outcomes in Eastern Africa

Eyob Girma Abera, Surafel Worku Megersa, Kedir Negesso Tukeni +1 more

PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases

Type
Systematic review
Scope
Ethiopia, Kenya, Sudan

Why it matters nowConsolidating regional outcome data helps identify modifiable therapeutic variables and highlights gaps in longitudinal tracking necessary for coordinated control initiatives.

Field evaluation of SumiLarv™ 2MR larvicide for controlling the invasive malaria vector Anopheles stephensi in Ethiopia: a randomised controlled trial

Alemayehu Dagne, Patricia Doumbe-Belisse, Teshome Degefa +15 more

Malaria Journal

Type
Randomised controlled trial
Scope
Ethiopia

Why it matters nowThe findings suggest SumiLarv 2MR may be a suitable larval source management tool against the invasive urban-tolerant vector An. stephensi, which complicates existing malaria control in Ethiopia.

Evaluation of the effectiveness of artemether–lumefantrine and artesunate–pyronaridine each combined with single low-dose primaquine in adults with Plasmodium falciparum infection in Ethiopia: a phase 2/3, observer-masked, randomised, parallel-group trial

Migbaru Keffale Bezabih, Tadesse Misganaw, Legesse Alamerie Ejigu +33 more

The Lancet Microbe

Type
Randomised controlled trial
Scope
Ethiopia, United States

Why it matters nowThe data substantiate the sustained implementation of artemether-lumefantrine paired with primaquine while positioning the alternative pyronaridine-artesunate regimen as a reliable secondary option for areas confronting evolving drug resistance and diagnostic reliability concerns.

Knowledge-attitude and practice of Anthrax and brucellosis: Implications for zoonotic disease surveillance and control in pastoral communities of Afar and Somali region, Ethiopia

Rea Tschopp, Ashenafi GebreGiorgis Kidanu

PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases

Type
Journal article
Scope
Ethiopia, Somalia

Why it matters nowThe findings highlight gaps in zoonotic disease awareness, reporting, and response capacity that may inform future one health approaches to surveillance and control in pastoral Ethiopian settings.

Bovine tuberculosis in eastern Ethiopia: prevalence, risk factors and its public health importance

Jelalu Kemal, Berhanu Sibhat, Aklilu Abraham +4 more

BMC Infectious Diseases

Type
Journal article
Scope
Ethiopia

Why it matters nowThe authors highlight the high observed prevalence, low owner awareness, preference for raw milk, and reported TB among farm attendants as evidence that bovine tuberculosis poses a zoonotic risk requiring awareness-raising and control measures in eastern Ethiopia.

Malaria epidemiology and interventions in Ethiopia from 2001 to 2016

Hiwot S Taffese, Elizabeth Hemming-Schroeder, Cristian Koepfli +5 more

Infectious Diseases of Poverty

Type
Journal article
Scope
Ethiopia

Why it matters nowThe findings document substantial reductions in malaria burden following intensified interventions, but identify persistent transmission in western Ethiopia and gaps between ITN ownership and use that require targeted control efforts to sustain progress.

Transmission dynamics of co-endemic Plasmodium vivax and P. falciparum in Ethiopia and prevalence of antimalarial resistant genotypes

Eugenia Lo, Elizabeth Hemming-Schroeder, Delenasaw Yewhalaw +9 more

PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases

Type
Journal article
Scope
Ethiopia

Why it matters nowThe findings suggest that human migration facilitates parasite gene flow across regions, potentially spreading drug-resistant parasites, and highlight the need for surveillance of resistance markers and targeted interventions among seasonal migrant populations to reduce Ethiopia's malaria burden.

Risk factors for MERS coronavirus infection in dromedary camels in Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, and Morocco, 2015

Eve Miguel, Véronique Chevalier, Gelagay Ayelet +14 more

Eurosurveillance

Type
Journal article
Scope
Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Morocco

Why it matters nowThe study provides evidence on MERS-CoV circulation in African dromedary camel populations and identifies risk factors relevant to zoonotic transmission pathways from camels to humans.

Louse-borne relapsing fever (Borrelia recurrentis) diagnosed in 15 refugees from northeast Africa: epidemiology and preventive control measures, Bavaria, Germany, July to October 2015

Martin Hoch, Andreas Wieser, Thomas Löscher +13 more

Eurosurveillance

Type
Journal article
Scope
Germany, Somalia, Eritrea

Why it matters nowThe report highlights the need for clinicians caring for refugees traversing north Africa to recognise louse-borne relapsing fever, in order to provide timely treatment and apply preventive measures.
