据报告，2010年，欧洲从西非和中非大规模进口猪肉。我们对在法国巴黎戴高乐机场查获的18个非法非洲肉类集装箱进行了细菌检测。此外，还对五种走私熏鱼进行了多环芳烃分析，这是已知的致癌物。所有肉类样本的需氧菌活菌数均高于人类食用的安全水平。我们还确定了肉类中的人畜共患细菌病原体和鱼类中不安全的致癌物水平。非法进口肉类是病原体传入的潜在风险。
Large-scale importation of bushmeat from West and Central Africa into Europe was reported in 2010. We sampled 18 illegal African bushmeat consignments seized at Charles de Gaulle airport, Paris, France and tested for the presence of bacteria. Additionally, five smuggled smoked fish were analysed for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, which are known carcinogens. All bushmeat samples had viable counts of aerobic bacteria above levels considered safe for human consumption. We also identified zoonotic bacterial pathogens in bushmeat and unsafe levels of carcinogens in fish. The illegal importation of meat is a potential risk for the introduction of pathogens.
