9Food-borne parasitic diseases are human and animal diseases that are caused by helminths and protozoans, which are acquired through the consumption of infected or contaminated meat, fish, shellfish, molluscs, plants, water, reptiles, and amphibians. To date, 95 species of food-borne parasites have been identified; these parasites pose significant public health and socioeconomic problems [1]. The World Health Organization (WHO) focuses on food-borne parasitic diseases when conducting surveys to assess food-borne diseases. The organization has found that 7% of the world's food-borne diseases are caused by these parasites, which have become a major threat to human health and a public health problem. The infectious diseases caused by food-borne parasites are often referred to as neglected diseases, and from a food safety perspective, parasites have not received the same level of attention as other food-borne biological and chemical hazards. Nevertheless, they cause a high burden of disease in humans. The infections may have prolonged, severe, and sometimes fatal outcomes, resulting in considerable hardship in terms of food safety, security, quality of life, and negative impacts on livelihoods.In 2014, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and WHO composed a list of 24 parasites ranked according to their "importance" and their primary food vehicle. Meanwhile, the FAO/ WHO defined global criteria for evaluating the 24 food-borne parasites and rated each parasite according to these criteria: (a) number of global illnesses, (b) global distribution, (c) morbidity -acute, (d) morbidity -chronic, (e) percentage chronic, (f ) mortality, (g) potential for increased burden, (h) trade relevance, and (i) socioeconomic impact. Finally, the top ten list was: Taenia solium (pork), Echinococcus granulosus (fresh produce), Echinococcus multilocularis (fresh produce), Toxoplasma gondii (meat from small ruminants, pork, beef, and game meat [red meat and organs]), Cryptosporidium spp. (fresh produce, fruit juice, and milk), Entamoeba histolytica (fresh produce), Trichinella spiralis (pork), Opisthorchiidae (freshwater fish), Ascaris spp. (fresh produce), and Trypanosoma cruzi (fruit juices).

Paper‐Based Electrochemical Biosensors: From Test Strips to Paper‐Based Microfluidics

et al. 2014

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Papers based biosensors such as lateral flow test strips and paper‐based microfluidic devices are inexpensive, rapid, flexible, and easy‐to‐use analytical tools for point‐of‐care diagnosis. An apparent trend in their detection is to interpret sensing results from qualitative assessment to quantitative determination. Electrochemical (EC) detection plays an important role in quantifying test results. This review focuses on paper‐based biosensors with EC detection. The first part provides detailed examples in lateral flow test strips while the second part gives an overview of paper microfluidics. The outlook and recommendation of future directions of papers based EC biosensors are discussed in the end.

There is a growing need for low-cost, rapid and reliable diagnostic results in veterinary medicine. Point-of-care (POC) tests have tremendous advantages over existing laboratory-based tests, due to their intrinsic low-cost and rapidity. A considerable number of POC tests are presently available, mostly in dipstick or lateral flow formats, allowing cost-effective and decentralised diagnosis of a wide range of infectious diseases and public health related threats. Although, extremely useful, these tests come with some limitations. Recent advances in the field of microfluidics have brought about new and exciting opportunities for human health diagnostics, and there is now great potential for these new technologies to be applied in the field of veterinary diagnostics. This review appraises currently available POC tests in veterinary medicine, taking into consideration their usefulness and limitations, whilst exploring possible applications for new and emerging technologies, in order to widen and improve the range of POC tests available.
