TL;DR: The present study shows a low prevalence of E. coli O157 in beef sold at butcher shops in central Ethiopia, given the low infective dose of this pathogen and the deep-rooted tradition of consuming raw or undercooked beef, the current prevalence should not be considered lightly from a public health perspective.

TL;DR: There is a general lack of awareness among food animal owners about the correct use of antibiotics and anthelmintics, which can affect the drug quality and can also contribute to the development of drug resistance in central Ethiopia.

TL;DR: The present study provides the most up-to-date predictive maps of the potential distributions of C. imicola and should be of great value for decision making at global and regional scales.

TL;DR: Estimating the health burden and post-exposure treatment (PET) costs of canine rabies in Ethiopia by an investigation of exposed human cases provides decision makers insights into the potential benefits of implementing effective interventions.

TL;DR: Improvements in the rural districts with regard to accessibility of post‐exposure prophylaxis delivering health centres in shorter distance could improve health seeking behaviour, and majority of exposed persons who seek medical treatment tend to comply with treatment regimen, indicating that the promotion of medical treatment through awareness creation campaigns could be beneficial.
