The role of syndromic knowledge in Ethiopian veterinarians' treatment of cattle por Nyokabi, N.S., Wood, J.L.N., Gemechu, G., Berg, S., Mihret, A., Lindahl, Johanna F., Moore, H.L.

“…A cross-sectional survey using a role-play approach was used to collect data on knowledge regarding cattle diseases among veterinarians in veterinary clinics and private practices in Addis Ababa, Oromia and Adama regions in Ethiopia. Veterinarians were given a number of disease scenarios based on “fictive disease symptoms” that are commonly manifested in a sick cow and asked to identify the disease what personal biosecurity they would use, diagnostic tests they would perform, treatments they would prescribe, treatment costs, and additional services and inputs they would recommend to the farmer. …”

Stacking beneficial haplotypes from the Vavilov wheat collection to accelerate breeding for multiple disease resistance por Jingyang Tong, Tarekegn, Zerihun T., Jambuthenne, Dilani, Alahmad, Samir, Periyannan, Sambasivam, Lee T. Hickey, Dinglasan, Eric, Hayes, Ben

“…By adopting haplotype-based local genomic estimated breeding values, derived from an integrated set of 34,899 SNP and DArT markers, we established a novel haplotype catalogue for resistance to the six diseases in over 20 field experiments across Australia and Ethiopia. Haploblocks with high variances of haplotype effects in all environments were identified for three rusts, and pleiotropic haploblocks were identified for at least two diseases, with four haploblocks affecting all six diseases. …”
