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...

In Côte d’Ivoire, fish products provide a substantial part of needs for animal proteins. Yet, owing to the different processing and preservation procedures used, neoformed molecules appear in the flesh of fish sold for consumption. Therefore, it is necessary to check the quality of the fish obtai...
