Monitoring of Foodborne Hepatitis A virus Outbreaks in the Fresh Foods

Abstract: HEPATITIS A virus (HAV) is one of the most widespread foodborne pathogens and the cause of viral hepatitis. Fresh foods can be considered as a vector of transmission for HAV when contaminated by spoiled irrigation water or when prepared by infected food handlers. To improve microbiological detection and to increase insights into the contribution of fruit and vegetables to foodborne viral transmission, sensitive and standardized methods are needed. Two outlet drainage water samples from El-Mariotia and El-Gable… Show more

“…Potato virus Y NTN strain (accession no. EF 502038) was obtained from the Virology lab., Faculty of Agriculture, Ain Shams University (El-Dougdoug et al, 2007;Mahfouze et al, 2012). PVY NTN strain was propagated on Datura metel L. Five healthy plants of the same species and age were left without inoculation as a control.…”

“…4 It is considered one of the most common illnesses transmitted through oral-faecal route specifically in children and old people. 5 The virus' transmission is facilitated by water and/or food as well as person-to-person contact in developed countries and the endemicity is worldwide. 6,7 There is considerable variation in the rates of seroprevalence by region, country and intra-country with marked fluctuations from time to time but in general, the underdeveloped countries bear the greatest disease burden amongst children.…”
