International Agency for Standards and Ratings honours Firaol Tamiru, Askale Gizaw, Dagmawit Atalel, Solomon Shiferaw, Alemnesh Woldeyes, Dinka Ayana and Waktole Terfa with Louis Pasteur Research Award-2015 in Veterinary Science for great scientific contribution
26 March, 2015, Ethiopia, USA NEWS CORP
Much awaited award was announced this week. Finally Ethiopia wins Louis Pasteur Research Award-2015 in Veterinary Science. Thousands of nominations from several countries were received for international competition. The noble work is screened which distinguish from the rest, in different aspects of the Veterinary Science. The award is introduced to highlight excellent think tanks on global platform. The research findings were published on world’s prestigious The Journal of Veterinary Science. International Agency for Standards and Ratings recognizes the researchers among World's 500 Most Influential Veterinologist for the year 2015 on earth. Firaol Tamiru is Lecturer at Department of Veterinary Laboratory Technology, College of Agriculture and Veterinary Sciences, Ambo University, Ambo, Ethiopia. Askale Gizaw is Assistant Lecurer at Department of Veterinary Laboratory Technology, College of Agriculture and Veterinary Sciences, Ambo University, Ambo, Ethiopia. Dagmawit Atalel is Lecturer at Department of Veterinary Laboratory Technology, College of Agriculture and Veterinary Sciences, Ambo University, Ambo, Ethiopia. Solomon Shiferaw is Lecturer at Department of Veterinary Laboratory Technology, College of Agriculture and Veterinary Sciences, Ambo University, Ambo, Ethiopia. Alemnesh Woldeyes is Researcher at National Animal Health Diagnostic and Investigation Center, Sebeta, Ethiopia. Dinka Ayana is Associate Professor at Department of Pathology and Parasitology, College of Veterinary Medicine and Agriculture, Addis Ababa University, Debre-zeit, Ethiopia. Waktole Terfa is Assistant Professor at Department of Veterinary Laboratory Technology, College of Agriculture and Veterinary Sciences, Ambo University, Ambo, Ethiopia. Firaol Tamiru, Askale Gizaw, Dagmawit Atalel, Solomon Shiferaw, Alemnesh Woldeyes, Dinka Ayana and Waktole Terfa from Ethiopia made a historical victory over the international competition and won Louis Pasteur Research Award-2015 in Veterinary Science. Their research was highlighted in international media and gathered a large worldwide attention in scientific circles while it appeared in world's most read journal 'The Journal of Veterinary Science'. In their report on Study on poultry coccidiosis in and around Ambo town, West Shewa zone, Ethiopia they mention that A cross sectional study was conducted from July to November, 2013 to determine the prevalence of coccidiosis, to identify species of Eimeria and to assess potential risk factors in and around Ambo town, Ethiopia. The study involved ante- and post-mortem examination, mucosal scraping examination using floatation technique, gross and histopathological examination and identification of Eimeria species. Out of 390 examined chickens, 18.7% (73/390) harbored different Eimeria species. Five Eimeria species, Eimeria tenella, Eimeria necatrix, Eimeria brunetti, Eimeria maxima and Eimeria acervulina with the prevalence rate of 62.2%, 18.29%, 10.98%, 6.09% and 2.43%, respectively were identified 82 times from positive chickens. Eimeria tenella was the predominant species while Eimeria maxima and Eimeria acervulina were the least prevalent species. There was no statistical significant difference between age (χ2=0.921, p>0.05), breed (χ2=0.16, p>0.05), sex (χ2=3.609, p>0.05) and management system (χ2=2.245, p>0.05) groups. In conclusion, the present study showed that coccidiosis is an important disease of poultry in the study area. Thus, awareness creation, implementation of appropriate management system, economic effects and further studies on molecular characterization and drug sensitivity of the Eimeria species in the study area were recommended. Under their leadership the research area is surely likely to expand beyond the horizons. It will be worthy to explore the further potential under their legacy. Firaol Tamiru, Askale Gizaw, Dagmawit Atalel, Solomon Shiferaw, Alemnesh Woldeyes, Dinka Ayana and Waktole Terfa as valuable intellectuals for the Ethiopia offer exclusive opportunities for scholars around the world. One of the most attractive weightage for Ethiopia is to have the awardees for promotion of the concerned scientific discipline for the benefit of its civilians. Thus Ethiopia which has excellent track record to produce brain storming intellectuals, has offered a new extension in terms of Firaol Tamiru, Askale Gizaw, Dagmawit Atalel, Solomon Shiferaw, Alemnesh Woldeyes, Dinka Ayana and Waktole Terfa to world. In conclusion, poultry coccidiosis was found as one of the important poultry disease that impairs benefit gained from the sector. There was no statistical significance difference between categories of the assessed risk factor groups in the prevalence of the identified five species of Eimeria and the disease. Thus, awareness creation about the disease, implementation of appropriate management system for chickens under both extensive and semi-intensive farming system and molelcular characterization of these species of Eimeria including drug sensitivity of the species and their economic effects in the study area were recommended. The current study revealed high prevalence of coccidiosis in and around Ambo town, Ethiopia. Five species of Eimeria responsible for coccidiosis were identified. There was no statistical significance difference between categories of risk factor groups in prevalence of coccidiosis. Pathologically, effects of Eimeria species in different intestinal parts were observed. Molecular characterization of the Eimeria species and detailed economic effects of the disease would have been studied if there were enough budget and facilities. The research was funded by Research, Knowledge and Technology Transfer Office, Ambo University, Ethiopia (project code - AUCAVLB-06/12). FT and WT conceived the idea and designed the study. FT, WT, AG, Dagmawit Atalel (DaA), SS and AW participated in the intensive laboratory and/or field works. FT, WK, SS and Dinka Ayana (DiA) analysed and interpreted the data, and wrote the manuscript. AW contributed a lot to histopathological examination part. All authors contributed to manuscript preparation, read and approved the final manuscript. The authors are grateful to Ambo University, Ethiopia, for financial support, and staffs of NAHDIC, Sebeta, Ethiopia, especially staffs of Pathology laboratory, for their technical and professional support and encouragement during histopathological duty. Finally, staffs of Veterinary Laboratory Technology department, Ambo University are highly acknowledged. You can share this News URL on Facebook or your Social Media Site/ blog.
