Cryptosporidium is a microscopic and apicomplexan parasite.C. parvum is an obligate intracellular parasite, that infects both humans and livestock transmitted via highly durable oocysts in feces.Development inculde both a cyclic asexual reproduction and the production of gametes giving rise to further oocysts, which are either excreted or reinfect the host.C. Parvum oocysts-forming apicomplexan protozoa, which complete their life cycle both in humans and animals, through zoonotic and anthroponotic transmission, causing cryptosporidiosis.
Cryptosporidium paravum is most commonly known for waterborne transmissionmore but recently identified as an emerging food contaminant. Several documented food-associated outbreaks have been reported in improperly pasteurized milk , chicken salad in , uncooked green onions.
Entamoeba histolytica is a anaerobic and Zoonotic parasitic protozoan it causes Amebiasis .The highest prevalence of amebiasis is in developing countries. Get tramsmitted by feces and food and water supplies, are inadequate that infects predominantly humans and other primates.Cysts are viable in water, soils and on foods.
Giardia intestinalis is a protozoan flagellate (Diplomonadida) that can live in the intestines of animals and people, it causes giardiasis. It is found in every region throughout the world and has become recognized as one of the most common causes of waterborne (and occasionally food-borne) illness.
Toxoplasma gondii are obligate intracellular Parasites that belong to the family Sarcocystidae.T. gondii is ubiquitous and isfound around the world and considered to be a leading cause of death attributed to foodborne illness. Oftenly found in hot, humid climates and
lower altitudes and occurs in a wide range of intermediate hosts that include warm blooded vertebrates, such as birds, carnivores,
rodents, pigs, primates, and humans.
Cyclospora cayetanensis is a unicelluar, coccidian, microscopic parasite which causes cyclosporiasis, an intestinal disease in humans and small to be seen without a microscope. Its full name is Cyclospora cayetanensisa, and it has a life cycle that involves both sexual and asexual reproduction.Cyclosporiasis occurs in many countries, but it seems to be most common in tropical and subtropical regions. In areas where cyclosporiasis has been studied, the risk for infection is seasonal. However, no consistent pattern has been identified regarding the time of year or the environmental conditions, such as temperature or rainfall.
Anisakis simplex is the most common hidden allergen in food and should be considered as a possible causative food allergen in adult patients presenting with urticaria, angioedema, and anaphylaxis followed by abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea get infected by the consumption of raw fish or seafood.
, anisakiasis (using the term in the broad sense) is caused mainly by the accidental ingestion of larvae of the nematodes (roundworms). Anasakiasis occurs worldwide, with a higher incidence in regions where raw fish is commonly eaten.Anisakis simplex is the most common helminth infection in humans resulting from the consumption of raw or undercooked fish
trichinellosis, a zoonosis living as intramulticellular parasites .that involves mammals including man, birds and reptiles. Trichinella differs from other helminths because its life-cycle which is completed in a single host involves two distinct intracellular habitats, intestinal epithelium and skeletal muscle cell Trichinellosis is acquired by ingesting meat containing cysts (encysted larvae) of Trichinella spiralis. After exposure to gastric acid and pepsin, the larvae are released from the cysts and invade the small bowel mucosa where they develop into adult worms (female 2.2 mm in length, males 1.2 mm; life span in the small bowel: 4 weeks).
After 1 week, the females release larvae that migrate to the striated muscles where they encyst . Trichinella pseudospiralis, however, does not encyst. Encystment is completed in 4 to 5 weeks and the encysted larvae may remain viable for several years. Ingestion of the encysted larvae perpetuates the cycle.
