TL;DR: Viral genetic and phenotypic differences in viruses from West Africa may be relevant to differences in zoonotic potential, highlighting the need for studies of MERS-CoV at the animal–human interface.
Journal ArticleDOI
Knowledge and perception of pulmonary tuberculosis in pastoral communities in the middle and Lower Awash Valley of Afar region, Ethiopia
Mengistu Legesse,Gobena Ameni,Gezahegne Mamo,Gezahegne Mamo,Girmay Medhin,Dawit Shawel,Gunnar Bjune,Fekadu Abebe,Fekadu Abebe +8 more
TL;DR: The findings indicate that pastoral communities of Afar had basic awareness about pulmonary tuberculosis and thought that men were the highest risk group to get PTB as well as playing a major role in the epidemiology of the disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The results of the present study have shown that the majority of camel TB lesions are caused by mycobacteria other than Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex, and hence further identification and characterization of these species would be useful towards the efforts made to control TB in camels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bovine tuberculosis in Ethiopia: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Berhanu Sibhat,Kassahun Asmare,Kassa Demissie,Kassa Demissie,Gelagay Ayelet,Gezahegne Mamo,Gobena Ameni +6 more
TL;DR: It was showed that bTB in cattle in Ethiopia is widespread with high prevalence in intensive and semi-intensive management systsems that keep exotic breeds and their crosses in urban and peri-urban areas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Community-based cross-sectional survey of latent tuberculosis infection in Afar pastoralists, Ethiopia, using QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube and tuberculin skin test
Mengistu Legesse,Mengistu Legesse,Gobena Ameni,Gezahegne Mamo,Gezahegne Mamo,Girmay Medhin,Gunnar Bjune,Fekadu Abebe +7 more
TL;DR: The higher prevalence of LTBI detected using Q FTGIT rather than TST suggests that QFTGIT could be used for epidemiological studies concerning LTBI at the community level, even in a population unreactive to TST.
