Perspectives on Foodborne Parasites
Journal Title: Advances in Food Technology and Nutritional Sciences - Open Journal - Year 2015, Vol 1, Issue 4
Abstract
Recently, the emergence of a global food market, the growth of organic food produced by organic farming, and changes in eating habits have aroused an interest in foodborne illnesses, which constitute an important public health problem around the world. The World Health Organization (WHO) and Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations estimate that parasites such as helminths (e.g., Anisakidae, Cysticercus spp., Taenia saginata, T. solium and Trichinella spiralis) and protozoa (e.g., Cryptosporidium spp., Cyclospora cayetanensis, Entamoeba histolytica, Giardia duodenalis, Toxoplasma gondii and Trypanosoma cruzi), which have consequences on human and animal health, are currently responsible for some foodborne diseases.1
