Resumo: ObjectiveThe present study aimed to evaluate the presence of helminthes and intestinal protozoa in vegetables commercialized in Diamantina, a municipality located at Jequitinhonha Valley, one of the poorest regions of the world. MethodsA total of 108 specimens, including lettuce, green onion and rocket, were monthly collected from the most popular open street market, green grocery and supermarket of the municipality. The samples were processed by a concentration method and evaluated by light microscopy for parasitological identification. ResultsThe percentage of contamination was 50.9% (55/108), with predominance of nematode larvae (36.5%), cysts of Entamoeba coli (26.0%) and eggs of hookworms/Strongyloides spp. (12.9%). Lettuce showed greater contamination rate (61.1%) and samples from the open street market were more contaminated (77.8%). Information collected at each point of sale pointed the field cultivation as the critical step for such contaminations. ConclusionVegetables marketed in Diamantina presents a wide variety of intestinal parasites, which may represent a potential risk to the health of consumers of fresh vegetables.

MétodosCento e oito exemplares, incluindo alface, cebolinha e rúcula, foram mensalmente coletados em uma feira livre, uma quitanda e um supermercado do município. As amostras foram processadas por um método de concentração e avaliadas por microscopia óptica para pesquisa de estruturas parasitárias. ResultadosO percentual global de contaminação foi de 50,9% (55/108), com predominância de larvas de nematódeos (36,5%), cistos de Entamoeba coli e ovos de ancilostomídeos/Strongyloides spp. (12,9%). A alface demonstrou a maior taxa de contaminação (61,1%) e as amostras da feira livre foram as mais contaminadas (77,8%). Informações coletadas em cada ponto de venda apontaram o cultivo em campo como a etapa crítica para a contaminação. ConclusãoHortaliças comercializadas em Diamantina apresentam uma ampla variedade de parasitas intestinais, o que representa um risco potencial à saúde dos consumidores da área. Núcleo de Editoração – PUC-Campinas2023-03-16info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/article/view/7836Brazilian Journal of Nutrition; Vol. 30 No. 1 (2017): Revista de NutriçãoRevista de Nutrição; Vol. 30 Núm. 1 (2017): Revista de NutriçãoRevista de Nutrição; v. 30 n. 1 (2017): Revista de Nutrição1678-9865reponame:Revista de Nutriçãoinstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)instacron:PUC_CAMPenghttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/article/view/7836/5364Copyright (c) 2023 João Gabriel Guimarães LUZ, Marcos Vinícius BARBOSA, Amanda Gabriela de CARVALHO, Samira Diniz RESENDE, João Victor Leite DIAS, Helen Rodrigues MARTINShttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Guimarães LUZ, João GabrielBARBOSA, Marcos Vinícius de CARVALHO, Amanda Gabriela Diniz RESENDE, Samira Leite DIAS, João Victor Rodrigues MARTINS, Helen 2023-03-16T11:40:50Zoai:ojs.periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br:article/7836Revistahttp://www.scielo.br/rnPRIhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/oai||sbi.submissionrn@puc-campinas.edu.br1678-98651415-5273opendoar:2023-03-16T11:40:50Revista de Nutrição - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)false
