“…An elevated number of intestinal parasites was detected in foliar vegetables commercialized in Aparecida de Goiânia, especially lettuce. The index of 70% positivity of lettuce samples is very high comparing with several others studies carried out in Brazil (Esteves and Figueirôa, 2009;Neres et al, 2011;Fernandes et al, 2015;Silva et al, 2015;Moura et al, 2016;Santos et al, 2017;Machado et al 2020); the nematode larvae were not included in statistics because they were not identified at the family, genus or species Occurrence of enteroparasites in foliar vegetables level, as they could be larvae of free-living non-parasitic nematodes. In addition, probable trematode eggs and Trypanoxyuris sp.…”

“…Despite the undeniable nutritional importance, raw or poorly washed vegetables contaminated with fecal residues or irrigated with water contaminated with parasitic forms have been reported as important vehicles for transmission of intestinal parasites to humans (Andrade et al, 2010;Fernandes et al, 2015). In Brazil, contamination of foliar vegetables is one of the main transmission routes of enteroparasites to humans (Soares and Cantos, 2005;Neres et al, 2011), and several studies have confirmed the presence of parasitic forms in vegetables commercialized in all regions of the country (Soares and Cantos, 2005;Esteves and Figueirôa, 2009;Neres et al, 2011;Gomes et al, 2014;Fernandes et al, 2015;Silva et al, 2015;Novacki et al, 2016;Santos et al, 2017;Maldonade et al, 2019;Machado et al, 2020;Rodrigues et al, 2020). However, in the State of Goiás there are still few reports on the occurrence of vegetables contaminated with parasitic forms.…”

Foliar vegetables contaminated with fecal residues are an important route of transmission of intestinal parasites to humans. The aim of this study was to evaluate the presence of parasitic forms of protozoa and helminths on lettuces (Lactuca sativa) and collard greens (Brassica oleracea) sold in street- and supermarkets in the city of Aparecida de Goiânia, Goiás, Brazil. A total of 30 samples of each vegetable (15 samples from each supermarkets and street markets) was analyzed. All samples were processed by spontaneous sedimentation method and centrifugal flotation. In 45% of the samples, immature forms of intestinal parasites were identified with 66.7% helminths eggs and 33.3% protozoan cysts or oocysts. Significantly more lettuce samples were contaminated with eggs, cysts or oocyst of at least one parasite than collard green samples (U=216; Z=-3.45; P <0.001). The parasitic forms were identified morphologically up to the family level with eggs of Ancylostomatidae, Strongyloididae, Ascarididae and Taeniidae, or oocysts of Eimeriidae, to the genus with Cystoisospora sp. and Toxocara sp., and to the species level with Cystoisospora canis, Dipylidium caninum and Hymenolepis nana. The presence of these infective agents in lettuce and collard green from both street- and supermarkets highlights the high risk of spreading parasites by eating raw vegetables sold in Aparecida de Goiânia.

“…Sua contaminação ocorre por diversas vias: cutânea quando a criança entra em contato com solo ou objeto contaminado ou oral por ingestão de ovos ou larvas (SANTOS et al 2010). Alimentos contaminados são um dos maiores agravos dessa parasitose, principalmente as que são ingeridas em saladas cruas, onde contem larvas e ovos desses helmintos, provenientes de águas contaminadas por materiais fecais de homens ou animais FIGUEIRÔA, 2012).…”

Objective To monitor the frequency of enteroparasites in lettuce (Lactuca sativa) and parsley (Petrosolium sativum) samples, marketed in commercial buildings in the municipality of Conceição da Barra, Espírito Santo, Brazil.Materials and Methods Between August 2015 and July 2016, four different popular commercial buildings (fairs, markets and supermarkets) were selected as the largest vegetable suppliers in the municipality of Conceição da Barra, Espírito Santo. A total of 40 samples were analyzed using the modified spontaneous sedimentation method at the Laboratory of Parasitology and Hematology of Centro Universitário Norte do Espirito Santo, Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo.Results The most frequent organism in the study population were the commensal Entamoeba coli and the parasites E. histolytica/E.dispar, hookworm, Balantidium coli, Ascaris sp., Toxocara sp., Taenia sp. and Dipylidium sp.Conclusions The results indicate a high degree of contamination of the vegetables, probably related to the precariousness of production, transportation and handling, making it necessary to adopt measures that guarantee the best quality of food and, consequently, better population health.
