We used anonymous questionnaires to assess the hygienic and sanitary aspects of game meat self-consumption in Eastern Spain as first step towards a health risk assessment. The survey yielded 472 valid interviews from active hunters. maximum possible score was 65 points (average 29 ± 8; range 1-52). Most participants were men (95%), but women achieved significantly better scores (p = 0.003). Hunters above years old scored lower results than younger groups 0.007). increased with educational...
Microsporidia are widely spread obligate intracellular fungal pathogens from vertebrate and invertebrate organisms, mainly transmitted by contaminated food water. This study aims to detect the presence of major human-pathogenic microsporidia, i.e., Enterocytozoon bieneusi, Encephalitozoon intestinalis, hellem, cuniculi, in gastrointestinal tract commercially harvested marine fish Mediterranean coast Comunidad Valenciana, Eastern Spain. A total 251 fish, 138 farmed 113 wild commercial fishing...
Fish not only harbor host-specific species/genotypes of Cryptosporidium, but also species like zoonotic C. parvum or anthroponotic hominis, which can pose a risk for fish consumers. This study aims to investigate cryptosporidiosis in an important aquaculture and fishery area the Western Mediterranean (Comunidad Valenciana, Spain). We analyzed 404 specimens belonging following three groups: cultivated (N = 147), wild synanthropic 147) from extractive fisheries 110). Nested PCR targeting 18S...
The in vitro life cycle of zoonotic helminths is an essential tool for -omic translational studies focused on disease control and treatment. Anisakiosis emerging zoonosis contracted by the ingestion raw or undercooked fish infected with third stage larvae (L3) two sibling species Anisakis simplex sensu stricto (s.s.) pegreffii, latter being predominant Mediterranean basin. Recently, culture A. pegreffii has been developed to enable fast large-scale production fertile adults. However,...
<title>Abstract</title> Lungworm infections, also known as verminous pneumonia, are caused by various nematodes affecting wild and domestic ruminants worldwide. Lung decrease reproductive fitness, body weight, general animal performance. Since lung disease severity is linked to lungworm burden, adult worm collection after dissection the reference method for assessing intensity of nematode infection. The comprises three steps: pumping lungs with tape water collect parasites in flushing water,...
