Microbial Contamination, an Increasing Threat to the Consumption of Fresh Fruits and Vegetables in Today’s World

International Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020
Microbes are found all over the globe with some few exceptions, including sterilized surfaces. They include normal flora that is nonpathogenic, which contribute to the larger percentage, and pathogenic species which are few. Hence, the activities of humans cannot be completely separated from microbes. Thus, many pathogenic microbes have found their way

Detection of Cryptosporidium and Cyclospora Oocysts from Environmental Water for Drinking and Recreational Activities in Sarawak, Malaysia

BioMed Research International, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017
Cryptosporidiosis and cyclosporiasis are caused by waterborne coccidian protozoan parasites of the genera Cryptosporidium and Cyclospora, respectively. This study was conducted to detect Cryptosporidium and Cyclospora oocysts from environmental water abstracted by drinking water treatment plants and recreational activities in Sarawak, Malaysia.

Selecting PCR for the Diagnosis of Intestinal Parasitosis: Choice of Targets, Evaluation of In‐House Assays, and Comparison with Commercial Kits

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017
Microscopy of stool samples is a labour‐intensive and inaccurate technique for detection of intestinal parasites causing diarrhoea and replacement by PCR is attractive. Almost all cases of diarrhoea induced by parasites over a nine‐year period in our laboratory were due to Giardia lamblia, Cryptosporidium species, or Entamoeba histolytica detected by ...

Trigonometric Regression for Analysis of Public Health Surveillance Data

Journal of Applied Mathematics, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
Statistical challenges in monitoring modern biosurveillance data are well described in the literature. Even though assumptions of normality, independence, and stationarity are typically violated in the biosurveillance data, statistical process control (SPC) charts adopted from industry have been widely used in public health for communicable disease ...
