The consumption of fresh vegetables is related to healthy lifestyle habits present in culinary preparations in different regions. The presence of pathogenic parasites in these foods can cause gastrointestinal disorders. Thus, the objective of the present study was to carry out a narrative review of the literature on the prevalence of helminths in fresh vegetable samples. The analysis of the studies published from 2016 to 2022 showed that hookworms and Ascaris lumbricoides are the most common pathogenic helminths in fresh vegetable samples, with a prevalence of up to 73.8% and 55.1%, respectively. In addition, studies have shown associations between the presence of helminths and pathogenic protozoa. The results obtained in this review indicate the urgent need to implement actions at all stages of the vegetable production chain, from the water used in planting irrigation to cleaning before sale to the final consumer. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.
新鲜蔬菜的消费与不同地区烹饪准备中存在的健康生活习惯有关。这些食物中存在的致病寄生虫会引起胃肠道疾病。因此,本研究的目的是对有关新鲜蔬菜样品中寄生虫流行情况的文献进行叙述性综述。对 2016 年至 2022 年发表的研究进行分析后表明,钩虫和蛔虫是新鲜蔬菜样品中最常见的致病寄生虫,其流行率分别高达 73.8%和 55.1%。此外,研究还表明寄生虫和致病原生动物之间存在关联。本综述得出的结果表明,迫切需要在蔬菜生产链的所有阶段采取行动,从种植灌溉用水到销售前清洗再到最终消费者。 © 2022 英国化学学会。
