One third of parasitic outbreaks with known source in the US are attributable to food animal origin (FoAO). Among 24 foodborne parasites ranked by FAO/WHO, 14 associated FoAO. Management these biological hazards is essential for safety. Control measures inactivate 12 most relevant FoAO evaluated, including cooking, freezing, curing, and traditionally applied food-processing techniques, as well high-pressure treatment irradiation. How inactivation determined may affect results, however...
Among 24 foodborne parasites ranked by FAO/WHO, 15 are associated with food of non-animal origin (FoNAO). Control these hazards is essential for safety. measures to inactivate in FoNAO reviewed. Preventing contamination key ensuring the safety fresh produce. However, additional control can further reduce likelihood occurrence infectious FoNAO. Key Findings and Conclusions: The efficacy treatments depends on parasite species, developmental stage, matrix, application conditions. Conventional...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect dietary supplementation with hemp seed oil (HSO) on lipid metabolism, through plasma profile, liver function and concentrations fatty acids (FA), cholesterol, vitamin A in goat milk. Ten Carpathian goats were divided into two groups: one fed control diet (C) composed alfalfa hay concentrate, other C supplemented 93 g/day HSO (4.7% dry matter intake) for 31 days. did not modify triglyceride or phospholipid concentrations, activities alanine...
In recent years, it has been increasingly suggested that the consumption of natural polyphenols, in moderate amounts, is beneficial for health. The aim this study was to investigate efficacy a red wine (the administered dose 7 mL/kg/day being equivalent ~16.5 mg/kg/day total polyphenols) compared white ~1.7 polyphenols), on prevention acrylamide-induced subacute hepatic injury and oxidative stress Wistar rats. Hepatic damage due acrylamide intoxication 250 µg/kg body weight, 28 days, by...
An adequate vitamin D level is essential for optimal bone mass formation during growth. The present study aimed to assess (i) the sex-specific, age-specific, and potential seasonal (spring, summer, winter) influences on pediatric circulating levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin (25(OH)D); (ii) determine frequency patients with deficiency (VDD) or insufficiency (VDI); (iii) quantify association between age category, sex, season types susceptibility VDD VDI, respectively. Laboratory data were collected...
Early initiation of breastfeeding (EIBF), defined as putting newborns to the breast within 1 h birth, may have important benefits for both infant and mother. The aim this study was assess EIBF practices its determinants in northwestern Romania. This cross-sectional conducted from March June 2019, based on a sample 1399 mothers children aged less than 24 months. recruited community, 29 cities 41 communes distributed across six counties region Mothers responded by face-to-face interviews...
In terms of breastfeeding (BF) practices in Romania, there is a lack up-to-date data. The aim the present study was to assess current BF practices, and investigate factors associated with exclusive (EBF) under 6 months age northwestern Romania. A structured questionnaire used collect data among 1399 mothers children aged 0-23 months, recruited between March June 2019, from community. were evaluated based on World Health Organization indicators for assessing infant young child feeding whereas...
Foodborne toxoplasmosis in humans can be due to the exposure tissue cysts of Toxoplasma gondii through consumption meat, including pork, infected animals. Traditional Romanian food habits include pork as preferred while backyard pig rearing remains a common practice many rural areas Romania. The aims present study were estimate prevalence T. infection naturally pigs slaughtered for familial and genetically characterize strains obtained.Paired blood heart samples collected from 94 pigs, home...
Ascaris suum is present in traditionally managed indoor pig herds and industrialized farms, especially older fatteners sows. The increasing resistance to common antihelminthic drugs redirected research towards alternative traditional therapies, which also include medicinal plants. This study comparatively evaluated the vitro antiparasitic effects of Allium sativum L., Artemisia absinthium Cucurbita pepo Coriandrum Satureja hortensis L. Calendula officinalis against A. egg hatching larval...
Nematodes of the genus Trichinella are among most widespread parasites domestic and wild omnivores predatory animals. The present study aimed to evaluate antiparasitic effect Lactobacillus casei ATCC 393 (original) L. paracasei CNCM in CD-1 mice experimentally infected with britovi. Four groups 20 (10 females 10 males/group) were used, two control (C) experimental (E) groups, which each animal received a daily oral dose 100 µL 105 CFU/mL probiotics Ringer's solution. On day 7, all (except...
Abstract Background Toxoplasmosis is a widespread zoonosis caused by the intracellular protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii. Limited epidemiological information available about prevalence of T. gondii in sheep Romania, and high incidence would have implications for both economy public health. To our knowledge, no studies are strains circulating lambs. The objective this study was to assess (serology), lambs (serology, bioassay, PCR) abortions (PCR) Romania. Moreover, aimed perform genetic...
Coccidiosis in pigs seldom results important economic losses. However, it can influence growth rates weaners and is an hygiene indicator swine farms. Certain herbs, along with their extracts, have been used over the course of history traditional medicine. The aim this study was to evaluate vitro anticoccidial effects Allium sativum L. (garlic), Artemisia absinthium (wormwood), Coriandrum (coriander), Cucurbita pepo (pumpkin), Satureja hortensis (summer savory), Calendula officinalis...
Parasitic diseases are responsible for substantial losses in reproduction and productivity swine, creating a major impairment to efficient profitable livestock management. The use of phytotherapeutic remedies has notably increased over the past decade due their bioavailability, decreased toxicity, non-polluting nature, some extent antiparasitic effect. aim this study was evaluate potential Cucurbita pepo L. Coriandrum sativum against protozoa nematodes found swine. samples were collected...
Toxoplasma gondii is a protozoan parasite that infects large spectrum of warm-blooded animals, including humans. Small rodents and insectivores play an important role in the epidemiology T. may serve as source infection for both, domestic wild definitive felid hosts. Factors influencing occurrence small mammals are unknown, despite fact many intermediate host species identified. We have used (Rodentia Lipotyphla) captured over two years various habitats, both urbanised natural landscapes....
Ethno-veterinary practices could be used as a sustainable developmental tool by integrating traditional phytotherapy and husbandry. Phytotherapeutics are available worldwide. However, evidence of their antiparasitic efficacy is currently very limited. Parasitic diseases have considerable effect on pig production, causing economic losses due to high morbidity mortality. In this respect, especially smallholders organic producers face severe challenges. Parasites, disease agents, often...
