The construction of dams in Africa is often associated with adverse malaria impacts in surrounding communities. However, the degree and nature of these impacts are rarely quantified and the feasibility of manipulating reservoir water levels to control mosquito breeding has not been previously investigated in Africa. This report describes entomological and epidemiological studies conducted around the Koka Dam and Reservoir in Ethiopia. The research findings confirm the role of the reservoir in increasing malaria transmission and provide evidence that there is potential to use dam operation in integrated malaria control strategies.
The idea of writing my lifetime memory during my childhood time and adulthood period goes back to the last twenty years. Unfortunately, I did not have the courage and the willpower to embark on this task. I was always hindered by a silent feeling that I did not have the potential and capacity to write a book on my own life history. However, my other side of my conscience was also advising me that I dont have to be a gifted author to write my own biography and share my personal experience to interested readers. So I picked my pen and started to put down what came straight into my mind. Everything in this book is based on true life experience. We all have the potential and capacity to write what has happened in the course of our lives. Sharing them with others, in whatever way and language, will be a very useful contribution for the future generation.
