Identification of Ectoparasites Infesting Domestic Chickens and Evaluation of Control Practices Across Production Systems in and Around Dire Dawa, Ethiopia

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Ectoparasites threaten poultry health and productivity by decreasing egg production, lowering meat yields, and transmitting diseases. This study is aimed at determining the prevalence and identifying the main species of ectoparasites, as well as assessing the current control practices in poultry production systems in Dire Dawa.

Exploring Stability Landscapes and Complex Dynamics in a Discrete Holling–Tanner Predator–Prey Model via Bifurcation Theory and Machine Learning

Journal of Mathematics, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Discretization of continuous models can do more than approximate their dynamics; it can fundamentally transform their dynamical behavior, such as the complex dynamical behavior that translates the system to a chaotic state. In this study we investigated the discrete‐time Holling–Tanner predator–prey model.

The Role of Family Pathology in Noma: A Scoping Review of Household‐Level Risk Factors in Sub‐Saharan Africa

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Noma is a neglected tropical disease that predominantly affects young children in sub‐Saharan Africa, characterized by rapid orofacial tissue destruction and high mortality. While malnutrition and infections are well‐recognized risk factors, less attention has been given to family‐level and psychosocial determinants. Objectives To synthesize

Evolution and Spread of Regionally Adapted Newcastle Disease Virus Isolates From Live Bird Markets in Nigeria, 2023–2024

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Newcastle disease (ND) virus (NDV) infection ranks among the most important poultry diseases globally. In Nigeria, ND remains a persistent menace to poultry production, marked by recurrent outbreaks. However, there is limited understanding of the evolutionary changes and transmission dynamics of the virus in the region.

Predicting Childhood Anaemia in Nigeria: A Machine Learning Approach to Uncover Key Risk Factors

Public Health Challenges, Volume 4, Issue 4, December 2025.
Childhood anaemia affects about 60% of Nigerian children aged 6–59 months. Using nationally representative data, we applied 16 machine learning models to identify key predictors. The Extra Trees classifier performed best (F1 = 0.75), highlighting the potential of predictive modelling to guide targeted interventions and reduce childhood anaemia burden ...
