Assistant professor Jasna Kovac led the sessions for staff from Addis Ababa University and the Ethiopian Public Health Institute. Kansas State\u2019s Jessie Vipham helped design the course.<\/p>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" height=\"780\" width=\"780\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-434588\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mereja.com\/index\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Ethiopia-to-export-wheat-while-there-is-domestic-shortage-Fowg4A1aIAE9vyk.jpg?fit=780%2C780&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Ethiopian scientists train in the United States to detect dairy pathogens\" \/>\n<p>The training sat inside the ENSURE dairy-safety project awarded to Addis Ababa University by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the United Kingdom\u2019s Department for International Development. Kovac said the \u201ctrain the trainer\u201d model would support pathogen surveillance along Ethiopia\u2019s dairy chain. Project leader Ashagrie Zewdu said the skills would help Ethiopia apply stronger detection methods at home.<\/p>\n<p>Participants worked in the Rodney A. Erickson Food Science Building at University Park. The aim was practical: better lab capacity so Ethiopian agencies could watch milk and dairy products for pathogens that sicken consumers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sources:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/news.psu.edu\/story\/578997\/2019\/06\/26\/academics\/college-agricultural-sciences-trains-ethiopians-detect-dairy\">Penn State News<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>College of Agricultural Sciences trains Ethiopians to detect dairy pathogens&nbsp;&nbsp;Penn State NewsA two-week training on foodborne pathogen detection methods, focused on dairy, will help educators and government agencies in Ethiopia ensure the saf&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":30,"featured_media":434588,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-280703","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ethiopian-news"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mereja.com\/index\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Ethiopia-to-export-wheat-while-there-is-domestic-shortage-Fowg4A1aIAE9vyk.jpg?fit=1080%2C809&ssl=1","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p9NivD-1b1t","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mereja.com\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/280703","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mereja.com\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mereja.com\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.com\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/30"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.com\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=280703"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.com\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/280703\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":755390,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.com\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/280703\/revisions\/755390"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.com\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/434588"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mereja.com\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=280703"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.com\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=280703"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.com\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=280703"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
