“…This systematic review, informed by the Cochrane Collaboration handbook (Higgins & Green, 2011), was reported following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines (Table S1; Moher, Liberati, Tetzlaff, & Altman, 2010) and the Meta-analyses Of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (MOOSE) checklist (Table S2; Stroup et al, 2000). A priori peer-reviewed protocol for this review has been registered in PROSPERO (CRD42016046360) and published elsewhere (Chaabna & Alali, 2017). Minor amendments were implemented across this review, whenever was needed.…”

To enhance efforts related to controlling foodborne pathogens in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), information on epidemiology of non‐typhoidal Salmonella enterica (hereafter termed “Salmonella”) is limited. We quantified the overall regional and country‐specific Salmonella prevalence in different human populations and identified the most common serotypes. Published literature of Salmonella prevalence was systematically reviewed and reported following the Preferred Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. Pooled Salmonella prevalence measures were estimated using a random‐effects model. We identified 46 research reports that reported 84 Salmonella prevalence measures in 15 out of 24 countries in MENA. There were 252,831 tested humans with 6,356 Salmonella‐positive cases. The pooled Salmonella prevalence in MENA was estimated at 6.6% (95% confidence interval (CI): 5.4%–7.9%). The highest pooled Salmonella prevalence measures were in Morocco (17.9%, 95% CI: 5.7%–34.8%, 1997–2012), Tunisia (10.2%, 95% CI: 4.3%–18.0%, 1988–2009) and Sudan (9.2%, 95% CI: 6.5%–12.2%, 2006–2008), while the lowest were in Jordan (1.1%, 95% CI: 0.1%–3.0%, 1993–2010), Oman (1.2%, 95% CI: 1.2%–1.3%, 1998–2002) and Palestine (1.2%, 95% CI: 0.4%–2.1%, 1999–2011). In MENA, Salmonella pooled prevalence in gastrointestinal symptomatic, gastrointestinal asymptomatic and food handlers population groups was 13.0% (95% CI: 7.6%–19.6%), 11.4% (95% CI: 2.2%–25.7%) and 3.8% (95% CI: 1.0%–8.0%), respectively. Salmonella prevalence was 14.5% (95% CI: 8.7%–26.1%) in studies tested <100 subjects, whereas 4.6% (95% CI: 3.6%–5.8%) in studies tested ≥100 subjects. Salmonella Enteritidis (29.8%) and Typhimurium (23.6%) were the most common serotypes. Salmonella was a common foodborne pathogen in MENA countries, particularly in North African countries. Findings inform the scientific community, the public and the decision‐makers with Salmonella prevalence and gaps in evidence in MENA to support control and prevention strategies and could leverage more research studies.

Background Population health (PH) research capacity and performance are essential pillars of evidence-based practice to help address health inequalities. Best evidence is provided by systematic reviews (SRs). None of the published bibliometric analysis specifically assess the production of SRs on PH in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). The aim of our study is to investigate publication patterns and time trends of SRs reporting PH in the MENA region to evaluate the state of PH research performance in the region. Method The study protocol was developed a priori (protocol registration number: CRD42017076736). PubMed was searched. Two independent reviewers screened 5747 identified articles. We investigated author affiliation and collaboration, yearly citations of the SRs and journal information. Joinpoint regression was used to explore these characteristics overtime. Results Our meta-research included 387 SRs published between 2008 and 2016 which reported data on PH in 20 MENA countries. Publication of SRs increased over time in journals with impact factor < 4 and in the categories of yearly number of citations < 50 (p values ≤ 0.0024). Authors belonging to the region published increasingly (p value = 0.0001) over time. Thirty percent of the SRs were from authors solely from the region, while an additional 30% were from the region collaborating with Western country authors. Of these collaborative reviews, 79% were led by authors from the region. However, collaboration in the region (with the exclusion of collaboration with Western country authors) was rare (0.8%). These authors from the region published more in open-access journals while authors from Western countries collaborating or not with authors from the region published more in hybrid or non-open-access journals (p value < 0.0001). Collaboration between authors from MENA and Western countries led to published SRs in journals with impact factor ≥ 10. Systematic reviews with global coverage were published more by authors from Western countries, while SRs with country-level coverage were published by authors from the region (p value < 0.0001). Conclusion The incremental trend of PH SR publications on MENA likely reflects the ongoing improvement in research performance in the region. Authors from the region appear to be taking a lead role in conducting and disseminating MENA PH research. Open-access journals are a major contributor in facilitating MENA research dissemination.

“…Los agentes causantes de ETAS son los organismos tifoideos (causantes de la enfermedad conocida como Fiebre Tifoidea) que agrupan a los serovares Typhi y Paratyphi (Crump et al, 2015). La OMS estima que anualmente ocurren aproximadamente 78.7 millones de casos de ETAs en el mundo con 59 000 muertes asociadas solo a este organismo (Chaabna & Alali, 2017).…”

Introducción: Las Enfermedades de Transmisión Alimentaria (conocidas comúnmente con el acrónimo de ETAs), impactan significativamente en los sistemas de salud de los países. Objetivo: Realizar una búsqueda temática que identifica los principales peligros de tipo biológico causantes de ETAs descritos en Costa Rica, y relacionar los principales alimentos de origen animal con los cuales se vinculan. Metodología: Realizamos una búsqueda de información científica bajo la modalidad de revisión literaria de cohorte narrativo y descriptivo, desde junio de 2015 hasta diciembre de 2020. Seleccionamos para la presente revisión bibliográfica, únicamente artículos con descripción de uno o varios organismos patógenos que estuvieran vinculados con matrices alimentarias de origen animal, en el territorio costarricense. Resultados: Identificamos 27 tipos de organismos biológicos asociados con cuadros de ETAs, aislados de distintas matrices de origen animal en Costa Rica. Conclusión: Existe una pluralidad de organismos frecuentemente asociados con infecciones, toxoinfecciones e infestaciones en el ser humano. Con un panorama creciente de incremento en el consumo de productos de origen animal para hacer frente al crecimiento poblacional al año 2050, estos retos se incrementan en paralelo. Para ello es imperativo la implementación del concepto UnaSalud en los esquemas productivos de los países.
