“…The 23.5% result from animal feces was similar to the 19% found in rumen contents reported by Sibhat et al [3], and higher than 2.2% in cattle feces [1], 3.1% in pooled feces [8], and 15.1% in camel feces [9].…”

“…The 2.3% proportion of S. Anatum found in this study is similar to the 2.6% reported by Molla et al [9] from camels, but lower than the 9.1% reported by Ejeta et al [2]. S. Anatum was the most reported serotype (62.1%) in the study of Sibhat et al [3].…”

“…Saintpaul, S. Muenchen, and S. Larochelle were the main serotypes observed in most of the sampling locations in the abattoir line, which have been obtained also in other studies from Ethiopia [2,3,9,13,14]. In contrast, Stevens et al [21] isolated mainly S. Bredeney (71), S. Corvallis (12), S. Kentucky (10), S. Muenster (21), and S. Waycross (18) from Senegal, which may reflect differences in the geographic distribution of Salmonella.…”

“…Kagambega et al [4] reported Salmonella data in cattle from Burkina Faso, and Adabara et al [5] from hospital cases in Nigeria. Salmonella reports are available in Ethiopia on the prevalence of Salmonella in different food animals, such as cattle, sheep, goats and pigs [1,2,[6][7][8], camels [9], chickens [10] at abattoirs, from animal products at supermarkets [1,2,11], and from human cases [12,13]. Serotypes reported from Ethiopia include 48% each for S. Dublin and S. Mishmarhaemek, 20% for S. Typhimurium [8], 54% for S. Anatum, 19% for S. Newport [3], 38.8% for S. Saintpaul, and 22.4% for S. Braenderup [9].…”

Introduction: Salmonella has been reported from foods and the food production environment, with outbreaks occurring in the human population worldwide. Methodology: A survey on Salmonella in two beef production lines (a beef abattoir line and a processing line) in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia was conducted, with a total of 668 various samples randomly collected from animal-related materials, the environment, and a beef product (mortadella). Results: Overall, a 12.9% prevalence (26.3% from the abattoir line, 5.3% from the processing plant line) was observed. The prevalence in the abattoir line environment (36.6%) was higher than that in animal-related samples (14.7%); the reverse was true for the processing plant line. Out of 86 isolates, 10 serovars were identified, and 8 remained unidentified. The predominant serotypes were S. Saintpaul (32.5%), S. Muenchen (19.8%), and S. Larochelle (12.8%). S. Kastrup and S. London were isolated for the first time in Ethiopia. Conclusions: Data indicate open ports of entry for Salmonella, with possible transfer along the line. Further investigations from farm to fork are recommended in order to identify these positions of entry.

Salmonella spp. and Listeria monocytogenes are foodborne pathogens of global importance. We assessed their risks and associated factors in a highly dynamic population of animals. Animal and environmental samples were collected from dairy cattle, sheep, camel and chickens at either the farms or the abattoirs. The pathogens were detected using a combination of bacterial enrichment culture and real‐time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Data on putative risk factors were collect and analysed for their significance of association with these pathogens. Salmonella spp. were detected at higher proportions in sheep faeces and sheep carcasses in comparison to cattle faeces (odds ratio = 2.4 and 2.2, respectively). This pathogen was less common in milk or carcasses samples from cattle or chickens. Sheep and camel carcass samples were highly contaminated with Salmonella spp. Faecal samples from cattle had the most diverse serovars of Salmonella enterica including S. Newport, S. Haifa, S. Kedougou, S. Kentucky, S. Mbandaka and S. Goettingen. Exotic serovars in sheep included S. Eastbourne, S. Chester and S. Kottnus. Serovars that were shed in camel faeces included S. Newport, S. Bovismorbificans and S. Infantis. In all sampled populations, detection of Salmonella spp. was more likely during warmer months than cold months. Listeria monocytogenes was not common in the targeted populations and was detected at a rate of 2.4%, mainly from sheep carcasses. The study highlights the role of food animals as reservoirs of pathogens across boundaries since all feed are imported in that population from different parts of the world.
