  A Participatory epidemiological study was carried out to identify the most economically important trade-sensitive diseases which constrain trade and to quantify and rank the major diseases along the camel market chain originating from Afar pastoral community. A retrospective case-control study design was used to collect data on trade-sensitive disease problems in the market chains using epidemiological techniques of a semi-structured interview, disease ranking, and matrix scoring. Information was collected from producers, key informants, and participants in the Camel market chains. Purposive sampling was used to select a total of 153 producers, 29 traders, and 7exporters were interviewed with separate semi-structured questionnaires to collect information on the quality constraints of a traded camel along the export market chain.
