This study demonstrated that fresh food produce, such as berries, sprouts, and green-leafed vegetables, sold at the retail level can contain potentially viable microsporidian spores of human-virulent species, such as Enterocytozoon bieneusi, Encephalitozoon intestinalis, and Encephalitozoon cuniculi, at quantities representing a threat of food-borne infection.
这项研究表明,在零售层面销售的新鲜农产品,如浆果、豆芽和绿叶蔬菜,可能含有对人类有致病性的微孢子虫孢子,如肠脑炎微孢子虫、肠道脑炎微孢子虫和兔脑炎微孢子虫,其数量足以构成食源性感染威胁。
