A descriptive study allowed to estimate the risks of formation of PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) in the traditionally smoked fish consumed in the area of Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire. The study was carried out from surveys on processing methods of fresh fish into smoked fish in the production ...
The local dairy commodity, from farm to retail point, is informal and often escapes safety surveillance and results in high contamination of local milk by pathogens. The objective of this study was to determine the biodiversity of Bifidobacterium species in the informal dairy production chain i...
Background: Paragonimiasis is a neglected tropical disease caused by an infection with lung flukes that is transmitted through the consumption of undercooked crabs. The disease is often confused with tuberculosis. Paragonimiasis is thought to be endemic in south-western Côte d’Ivoire. Methods: Tw...
The purpose of this study was to assess the risk of Vibrio spp. transmission from crustaceans to humans in two coastal towns of Côte d'Ivoire. Bacteriologic analysis was performed on 322 crustacean samples obtained from six markets in Abidjan and one in Dabou. Suspected Vibrio colonies were ident...
Food-borne disease remains a major public health challenge in Africa and Asia. Most of the foods that carry the highest pathogen risk are produced by smallholder farmers, marketed through the informal sector, and sold in wet markets. Given the significant role of informal markets in African and A...
Background. Animal-source foods are important causes of food-borne illness, and milk and dairy products can contain pathogenic microorganisms. Objective. We conducted a stochastic assessment of the risk of ingesting milk contaminated with specific microbial pathogens (Escherichia coli, Staphyloco...
The consumption of shellfish contaminated with Vibrio spp. is a cause of serious food borne diseases (FBD) and a concern in Abidjan where shellfish are mostly purchased on informal markets. This study assessed the risk of exposure to Vibrio spp. via the consumption of shellfish in Abidjan using s...
It has been repeatedly argued that mineral fertiliser application combined with in situ retention of crop residue biomass can sustain long-term productivity of West African soils. Using 20-year experimental data from southern Togo, a biannual rainfall area, we analysed the effect of two rates of ...
