Streptococcus suis infection is an emerging zoonosis in Asia. We determined the detailed epidemiological, clinical, and microbiological characteristics of S. meningitis adults.We prospectively studied 450 patients with suspected bacterial meningitis. Four hundred thirty-five (96.7%) participated a trial to determine effect adjunctive dexamethasone treatment. For infection, DNA load at hospital admission during treatment was analyzed cerebrospinal fluid specimens using quantitative real-time...
Food-borne diseases are attracting a lot of attention in Vietnam as result repeated episodes adulterated and unsafe food. In this paper, we provide some perspectives on food safety from the point view an international research institution working with partners country. We argue that one key issues is certain value chain stakeholders lack ethics, which leads to production trading foods order make profits irrespective adverse health effects consumers. turn, shortfall ethical behaviours around...
The use of antibiotics in livestock production is considered a major driver antibiotic resistance on global scale. In Vietnam, small- and medium-scale producers dominate the domestic market regulatory pushes have done little to decrease use. order inform future policy directions, this study aims explore knowledge, attitudes, practices amongst identify their perspectives resistance. A total 392 specialized pig, poultry aquaculture participated study. results showed that primary reason for...
The 2019 African swine fever (ASF) outbreaks in Vietnam imposed considerable impacts on the pig sector Vietnam, resulting death or culling of nearly six million pigs, more than 20% country's population. In order to assess magnitude outbreak at level (both farm and value chain level), livelihoods, broader national economy, a comprehensive impact assessment was conducted using mixed methods approach that integrated with use quantitative modeling tools levels. results showed caused severe...
Salmonella spp. and Staphylococcus aureus are two of the most common foodborne bacteria in animal-source foods (ASF) that cause illness worldwide. This study aimed to determine prevalence S. chicken meat pork markets Cambodia. Sampling was done 52 traditional 6 supermarkets 25 provinces Cambodia between October 2018 August 2019. In total, 532 samples were obtained: (n = 408, 204 each), cutting board swabs 124, 62 each). All analyzed for presence aureus; colony-forming units per gram (CFU/g)...
Street food plays a valuable role in several Asian countries including Vietnam. Improving the safety of street is an important responsibility for many local authorities. This study aims to characterize business profile fixed and mobile vendors, compare their compliance with criteria.A cross-sectional was conducted using questionnaire observational checklist assess ten Vietnamese criteria prescribed under Decision No. 3199/2000/QD-BYT vendors Can Tho city. A total 400 composed urban areas...
As COVID-19 has shown, pandemics and outbreaks of emerging infections such as Zika, Nipah, monkeypox antimicrobial-resistant pathogens, especially zoonotic diseases, continue to occur may even be increasing in Southeast Asia. In addition, these often result from environmental changes human behaviour. Overall, public health surveillance identify gaps the literature early warning signs are essential this region. A systematic review investigated prevalence diseases over 11 years 2011 2022 Asia...
Pork and pork products are important staple food in the diet of Vietnamese consumers. The safety pork, including biological contamination, is a concern to several public authorities value chain actors. This cross-sectional study aimed identify Salmonella total bacterial count (TBC) contamination cut sold different outlets, determine potential factors leading contamination. A 671 samples were collected from retail channels three provinces Northern Vietnam. Hygiene conditions practices at...
Pork is the most common and widely consumed meat product in Vietnam. The study aimed to assess nutrition food safety risks opportunities associated with pork value chains Twenty-nine focus group discussions (FGD) were conducted Hung Yen Nghe An provinces 164 participants who both regular consumers mothers young children. In each province, three districts selected, district we selected one commune. To quality of pork, took 30 swab samples pig carcasses at slaughterhouses, 90 slaughterhouses...
Pork is the most commonly consumed meat in Vietnam, and Salmonella enterica a common contaminant. This study aimed to assess potential S. cross-contamination between raw cooked pork Vietnamese households. Different scenarios for were constructed based on household survey of handling practices (416 households). Overall, 71% people used same knife cutting board both pork; however, all washed their hands utensils pork. The different experimentally tested. First, was inoculated surfaces (hands,...
Traditional pork shops play an essential role in delivering pork, the most popular food Vietnam, to consumers. Studies have shown need for investment training and equipment improve safety of sold at traditional shops. However, it remains unclear how consumers perceived improvement hygiene if they are ready pay premium prices safer products. This study used experimental approach determine consumers' perception assessment improved their willingness (WTP) A total 152 respondents two provinces...
Introduction Contamination with heavy and toxic metals along the food value chain is a public health concern in Bangladesh. Methods In this study, 608 fish chicken samples from traditional modern retail outlets urban, peri-urban, rural areas were collected analyzed for chromium (Cr), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb) contamination, using atomic absorption spectrometry method. The daily intake, target hazard quotient carcinogenic risk (for only) as result of consumption was calculated based on mean...
Non-typhoidal Salmonellae are common foodborne pathogens that can cause gastroenteritis and other illnesses in people. This is the first study to assess transfer of Salmonella enterica from raw chicken carcasses ready-to-eat salad Cambodia. Twelve focus group discussions four Cambodian provinces collected information on typical household ways preparing salad. The results informed laboratory experiments mimicked practices, using inoculated with . We developed scenarios encompassing range...
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a public health problem worldwide. Bangladesh, like its neighboring countries, faces many challenges, including access to safe food, inadequate food surveillance, as well increasing AMR. This study investigated bacterial contamination and the AMR profile of pathogens in marketed Bangladesh explored barriers reducing country. We collected 366 tomatoes, 359 chicken 249 fish samples from 732 vendors traditional markets urban, peri-urban rural areas 121 modern...
Non-typhoidal salmonella (TS) remains a significant health burden worldwide. In Vietnam, pork accounts for 70% of the total meat consumed, and contamination with Salmonella is high. High levels antimicrobial resistance (AMR) have emerged among porcine NTS particular concern emergence colistin resistance, "last defense" antibioic against multi-drug resistant (MDR) Gram-negative pathogens. This study aimed to investigate antibiotic susceptibility 69 isolates collected from retail outlets...
In Vietnam, pork is the most consumed meat, and contamination of with Salmonella spp. a serious public health problem. This study aimed to trace value chain forward from pig slaughterhouses markets in order elucidate dynamics on Hung Yen, Vietnam. survey was conducted between January February 2014 two randomly selected Yen. Swab samples were collected 88 carcasses them, 21 traced these samples. Microbial tests performed detect presence carcass at slaughterhouses. MPN determined addition for markets.
Trichinellosis and cysticercosis remain challenges to human health animal productivity worldwide, especially in developing countries. While information on the occurrence of both diseases is infrequent, they are endemic parts Vietnam mainly related indigenous pigs kept by ethnic minorities.
