Pathogenic parasites in vegetables in the Middle East and North Africa: Occurrence of Ascaris eggs and Giardia cysts, and epidemiological implications

Omar Amahmid et al.

Summary: This study investigated the presence of pathogenic parasites on vegetables collected from markets, street vendors, groceries, and farms in the Middle East and North African countries. The prevalence and concentrations of Giardia and Ascaris varied depending on the type of vegetables, with leafy vegetables having the highest levels. The existence of these parasites poses potential health risks for farmers, produce handlers, and consumers.

Protozoan Parasites and Leafy Greens in Marrakech: Study of Occurrence Using a Molecular Method

Salma Berrouch et al.

Summary: This study assessed the presence of parasites in leafy greens commonly consumed raw in Marrakech and found an overall contamination rate of 32.2%, with T. gondii being the predominant parasite identified. The results suggest that vegetables may serve as a route of exposure to protozoan parasites for humans. Further investigations are needed to evaluate the public health impact of these protozoan diseases in Morocco.

Climate Change and Zoonoses: A Review of Concepts, Definitions, and Bibliometrics

Walter Leal Filho et al.

Summary: Climate change has a complex impact on human and animal health, including changes in disease-carrying pathogens and vectors. This paper uses bibliometric analysis to identify zoonotic health risks caused by climate change. The research shows an increase in publications from 2009 to 2015, with a peak in 2020. The primary sources of research have also changed since 2018, reflecting a growing concern for human health. The USA, UK, Canada, Australia, Italy, and Germany are the leading countries in zoonosis research.

Are Fresh Water and Reclaimed Water Safe for Vegetable Irrigation? Empirical Evidence from Lebanon

Marie Therese Abi Saab et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the health risks of using polluted water for irrigating vegetables in Lebanon. It found that if the water had less than a certain level of E. coli bacteria, there were no pathogens detected in the vegetables, regardless of the irrigation method. Most metal concentrations were below safe limits, except for zinc and chromium. The study supports updating the standards for water reuse in agriculture to protect Lebanon's water resources.

Protozoa as the Underdogs for Microbiological Quality Evaluation of Fresh Vegetables

Claudia S. Marques et al.

Summary: The monitoring of microbial quality in the industrial environment has focused mainly on bacteria, while protozoa have been routinely ignored. Recent studies have shown that fresh produce may serve as an important source of transmission for Toxoplasma gondii, highlighting the need to include protozoa in microbial criteria for foodstuffs and improve their inactivation and removal procedures.

Detection and analysis of indicator and pathogenic bacteria in conventional and organic fruits and vegetables sold in retail markets

Jutanat Srisamran et al.

Summary: Produce-associated food-borne outbreaks are becoming increasingly important globally. This study investigated the contamination of retail produce from fresh markets and supermarkets in Bangkok with indicator bacteria and pathogens such as Salmonella, Shigella, E. coli O157:H7, and L. monocytogenes. The study found high concentrations of indicator bacteria, higher in produce from fresh markets and produced using conventional methods. The prevalence of Salmonella contamination was linked to the rainy season, conventional agriculture, sweet basil, and certain storage practices.

Zoonotic parasitic organisms on vegetables: Impact of production system characteristics on presence, prevalence on vegetables in northwestern Iran and washing methods for removal

Nasser Hajipour et al.

Summary: The study revealed that a variety of parasitic organisms were present in fresh and ready-to-eat vegetables in northwestern Iran, with lettuce being the most contaminated vegetable. Seasonal and field-to-field differences in contamination levels were observed, and the washing method used significantly influenced the removal of parasites. Proper washing of vegetables is crucial for a healthy diet, as zoonotic parasites were found in both field and ready-to-eat vegetables in Iran.
