Vibrio parahaemolyticus → increases → prevalence
temperature: 19°C
“Numbers of V. parahaemolyticus organisms increased when seawater temperatures were high, the season when most commercial shellfish-growing areas are not harvested. The numbers of V. parahaemolyticus organisms in samples exceeded 1,000 MPN/g only when the seawater temperatures exceeded 19°C.”
Salmonella spp. → detected → in railway wagons, saleyards, and abattoir holding pens
“Salmonella spp. were detected commonly in railway wagons, saleyards and abattoir holding pens through which cattle pass from farm to slaughter.”
Zingiber officinale (ginger) → is generally regarded as → safe for human consumption
“Further exploration of Z. officinale as an antifungal is warranted as this species is generally regarded as safe for human consumption.”
Salmonella prevalence → varied by → province
statistical significance: P < 0.001
“Differences in the provinces also affected Salmonella prevalence (P < 0.001).”
Salmonella prevalence → increased with → flock size
statistical significance: P = 0.021
“The incidence of Salmonella positives were tended to increase when the flock size is larger (P = 0.021).”
lactic acid bacteria → have → low prevalence of pathogenicity indicator traits
source: indigenous African fermented food productshaemolytic activities: poor
“Low prevalence of pathogenicity indicator traits were observed among the isolates especially with the presence of poor haemolytic activities and they could therefore be considered as interesting candidates for selection of starter cultures or probiotics for different applications.”
zearalenone → exposure → infants and young children
zone: Derived Savannah
“Infants and young children in the Derived Savannah zone are more exposed to aflatoxins, ochratoxins, and zearalenone while those in the Northern Guinea Savanna zone are mainly exposed to deoxynivalenol and fumonisins.”
steviol → has an LD50 of → 5.20 g/kg BW for males and 6.10 g/kg BW for females
species: hamsters
“LD50 values of steviol in hamsters were 5.20 and 6.10 g/kg BW for males and females, respectively.”
raw cow milk → reported → prevalence of E. coli O157:H7
location: Ethiopiamedian_prevalence: 10%
“The studies reviewed reported a median prevalence of E. coli O157:H7 of 10% in raw cow milk in Ethiopia”
deoxynivalenol → observed → contamination
products: organic wheat,conventional wheatcomparison: higher level in organic products
“contamination of both conventional and organic wheat by deoxynivalenol was observed with a higher level in organic products.”
