Epidemiological Status and Comprehensive Prevention and Control Strategies of Common Foodborne Parasitic Diseases
Journal: Journal of Clinical Medicine Research DOI: 10.32629/jcmr.v6i3.4232
Abstract
The incidence of foodborne parasitic diseases has continued to increase in recent years, becoming a public health safety issue that cannot be ignored. This raises higher requirements for related health education and preventive publicity. This paper describes common foodborne parasitic diseases and introduces the pathogens, transmission routes, and clinical symptoms of Taeniasis, Trichinellosis, Toxoplasmosis, and Paragonimiasis. Taeniasis is caused by the larval stage of the pork tapeworm, and humans become infected by consuming pork containing live cysticerci. Trichinellosis occurs when humans eat raw or undercooked pork containing Trichinella larvae cysts. Toxoplasmosis results from ingesting food or water contaminated with Toxoplasma oocysts. Paragonimiasis occurs when humans consume raw or undercooked crabs or crayfish containing live metacercariae of Paragonimus. Accordingly, comprehensive prevention and control measures are proposed, including promoting health education to enhance public awareness of disease prevention, strengthening livestock slaughter management, increasing control over dogs and cats to reduce transmission risk, and promptly understanding infection and distribution status while accurately reporting epidemics. These strategies provide effective measures for preventing and controlling foodborne parasitic diseases, reducing disease occurrence and transmission, and safeguarding public health.
