土耳其安卡拉的生菜，包括生菜、欧芹、大葱、黄瓜、胡萝卜、红卷心菜、西红柿、火箭和青椒上的寄生虫卵被确定存在。光镜检测203份未清洗样本和406份清洗样本，未清洗样本中检出寄生虫卵12份(5.9%)，未清洗样本均未检出寄生虫卵(p<；0.05)。在未清洗的样本中检测到的蠕虫卵包括带绦虫。(3.5%)、弓形虫。(1.5%)和蛔虫卵(1.0%)。带绦虫属回收的虫卵数量最多(n=130)，其次是弓形虫。卵子(n=2 1)。大约11%的未清洗生菜和欧芹受到污染，而胡萝卜样品的这一比例仅为2.5%。在红卷心菜、火箭、西红柿和青椒中没有检测到蠕虫卵。这些结果突显了土耳其未清洗的沙拉蔬菜传播蠕虫卵的可能性，以及在食用生蔬菜之前适当清洗/消毒的重要性。(C)2004爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
The presence of helminth eggs on raw vegetables, including lettuce, parsley, green onions, cucumbers, carrots, red cabbage, tomatoes, rockets (Eruca sativa), and green-peppers from wholesalers in Ankara, Turkey was determined. A total of 203 unwashed and 406 washed samples were assayed by light microscopy.Helminth eggs were detected in 12 (5.9%) of 203 unwashed samples and not in any washed samples (p < 0.05). Helminth eggs detected in unwashed samples included Taenia spp. (3.5%), Toxocara spp. (1.5%), and Ascaris lumbricoides (1.0%) eggs. Taenia spp. eggs were recovered to be highest number (n = 130), followed by Toxocara spp. eggs (n = 2 1). Approximately 11% of unwashed lettuce and parsley was contaminated compared with only 2.5% of carrot samples. No helminth eggs were detected in red cabbage, rockets, tomatoes or green-peppers.These results highlight the potential for transmission of helminth eggs by unwashed salad vegetables in Turkey and the importance of properly washing/disinfecting raw vegetables before consumption.
