  • Experts conclude that the only parasite in fish products for human consumption likely to cause allergic reactions is Anisakis, a worm whose larvae can be found in fish flesh. (europa.eu)
  • Given the sheer number of zoonoses, this means that space that could have been devoted to a more in depth discussion of the major zoonoses is taken up with sections dealing with spectacularly rare conditions, such as lagochilascariasis. (bmj.com)
  • Most of the major zoonoses are covered, but there are some omissions, e.g. babesiosis, simian malaria, and filariasis. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Staphylococcus aureus is a major resident or transient colonizer of the skin and the mucosa of humans and primates. (frontiersin.org)
  • human fascioliasis is considered now as a zoonosis of major global and regional importance. (bvsalud.org)
  • The underdiagnosis rate for the etiologic agent of the disease normal- foci (4) outside human habitats (e.g., sapronoses is probably higher than that ly thrives, grows, and replicates. (cdc.gov)
  • The combination of shrinking habitats, human-wildlife interactions, and food insecurity is a recipe for zoonosis. (thebreakthrough.org)
  • LPAS outbreaks were defined as ≥2 culture-confirmed human Salmonella infections linked to live poultry contact. (cdc.gov)
  • Toxoplasma gondii is estimated to chronically infect one third of the world's human population, causing ocular toxoplasmosis in immunocompetent individuals and often-fatal encephalitis in the immunocompromised, as well as birth defects and mortality following vertical transmission to developing fetuses. (usda.gov)
  • The presence of MAP in food for human consumption and in affected tissues of patients with CD has been detected. (scielo.cl)
  • Cats age at a much faster rate than humans, so practical timelines for testing frequency are included and suggest an increased frequency of diagnostics with advancing age. (bvsalud.org)
