Food safety incidents in the red meat industry: A review of foodborne disease outbreaks linked to the consumption of red meat and its products, 1991 to 2021
This study adopts a systematic search and review approach to identify three decades of published investigation reports of global foodborne disease outbreaks linked with the consumption of red meat and products made from them. The review aims to evaluate the critical features of these outbreak incidents to get insight into their contributing factors and root causes. In particular, this review discusses the transmission setting (origin of pathogenic agents), the food vehicles mostly incriminated, the causative pathogens (bacteria, viruses, and parasites) causing the most illnesses, and the most commonly reported contributing...

Intrinsic properties of anisakid nematode larvae as a potential tool for the detection in fish products
Int J Food Microbiol. 2021 Feb 11;343:109094. doi: 10.1016/j.ijfoodmicro.2021.109094. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAnisakid nematode larvae (NL) in fish products comprise a risk to human health and, if visible, lead to the rejection of these products by consumers. Therefore, great efforts are being made for the identification of these anisakid larvae to estimate the potential consumer health risk as well as to develop effective detection methods in order to prevent the introduction of heavily infected fish products into the market. The tasks of national reference laboratories include the improvement of detection methods a...

Intestinal parasites among food handlers in Iran: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Abstract Regarding preparing and serving foods, food handlers have an influential role in the spreading of foodborne infections. Due to the great potential to cause foodborne infections, intestinal parasites (IPs) are considered a significant public health problem in today's societies. In Iran, despite several regional reports, national data on IPs prevalence in food handlers are lacking. The aim of the present study, therefore, is to estimate the pooled prevalence of IPs infections and associated pooled odds ratio of educational level among food handlers in Iran. PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Embase, and Google...

An Indian multicriteria-based risk ranking of foodborne parasites
Publication date: November 2015 Source:Food Research International, Volume 77, Part 3 Author(s): Lucy J. Robertson, Rakesh Sehgal, Kapil Goyal While there are many (potentially) foodborne parasites, these are often neglected infections, with relatively little attention devoted to their surveillance, prevention, and/or treatment, and policy makers are unclear as to where interventions should be targeted. Different parasite–food matrix combinations have different implications for public health in different global regions. We conducted a risk ranking of foodborne parasites in India as part of a One Health workshop held...

Phytosynthesis and Antileishmanial Activity of Gold Nanoparticles by Maytenus Royleanus
In this report, we present a simple and green approach to synthesize gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with efficient antileishmanial activity. Phytochemicals from the aqueous extract Maytenus royleanus stem were used to reduce and stabilize the gold ions into metallic nanoparticles. UV‐Vis spectroscopy was employed to detect the characteristic surface plasmon resonance pattern of AuNPs (550 nm). X‐ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive X‐ray studies were carried out to determine the crystalline nature and elemental composition of AuNPs. The surface functionalities of nanoparticles were identified with Fourier‐transf...

Dietary intake and nutritional status of patients with Chagas disease
Arch Latinoam Nutr. 2016 Sep;66(3):185-194.ABSTRACTChagas disease is a parasitic infection that affects 17 million people in Latin America. The real influence of nutritional status and food intake effect over the course of the disease to chronic Chagas Cardiomyopathy is still unknown. Furthermore, some cardiovascular risk factors might influence the evolution of the disease. A cross-sectional study of a sample of patients with Chagas disease attending the Cardiology Section of the Hospital Centenario of Rosario was carried out in order to characterize their food intake and nutritional status. Data on the general characteri...
