Detection of selected parasites in minced meat and meat products from retail using molecular methods
Original language description
The prevalence of food-borne parasitic diseases increases worldwide. This can occur due to the factors like variations in consumers’ habits, increase in population hence predisposed individuals and also advance in detection methods. Parasites like Cryptosporidium parvum, Giardia intestinalis and Toxoplasma gondii do not belong amongst routinely inspected pathogens in meat intended for human consumption. Nevertheless, eating raw or undercooked meat with cyst stages of these parasites can cause their transmission to humans. The aim of this study was to investigate the possible presence of named parasites in 123 samples of minced meat and meat products from retail in the Czech Republic. Quantitative real time PCR method for the detection of specific genes was used. Only one (1,2 %) of all tested products was found to be positive. The results show that minced meat and meat products available in the Czech retail are safe. However, intermittent monitoring is necessary to assure the food safety for the consumers.
