INTESTINAL PARASITES IN CURLY AND SMOOTH LETTUCE (Lactuca sativa, L.) COMMERCIALIZED IN FREE MARKETS FROM NITERÓI-RJ

Two hundred and ten samples of lettuce, sold in eight free markets from Niterói-RJ, were analyzed for intestinal parasite contamination. Contamination by evolutive forms of parasites was detected in 12/210 (5.7%) of the samples, being 4.8% in thecurly variety and 6.7% in smooth samples. Nematode egg...

Contamination by evolutive forms of parasites was detected in 12/210 (5.7%) of the samples, being 4.8% in thecurly variety and 6.7% in smooth samples. Nematode eggs of the superfamily Rhabditoidea and free living larvae of nematodes were found in 42.9% of curly samples and 38.1% of smooth ones. Adult arthropods and nematodes were found in 41.9% (88/210) of samples, 53.3% of curly samples and 30.5% of smooth samples. There was no statistically significant difference between the varieties of lettuce relative to the presence of contaminants. The presence of contaminants of biological origin indicates poor hygienic quality of lettuce sold in free markets of Niterói-RJ, representing a risk for infection by intestinal parasites, if consumed without proper washing, in both varieties.Foram analisadas 210 amostras de alface comercializadas em oito feiras livres de Niterói-RJ, sendo 105 da variedade crespa e 105 da lisa. Foi detectada contaminação por parasitos em 12/210 (5,7%) das amostras, sendo 4,8% em amostras crespas e 6,7% em lisas. Em 42,9% das amostras crespas e 38,1% das lisas, foram encontrados ovos de nematoides da superfamília Rhabditoidea e larvas de nematoides em vida livre. Artrópodes e adultos de nematoides estavam presentes em 41,9% (88/210) das amostras, sendo 53,3% em amostras crespas e 30,5% em lisas. Não houve diferença estatisticamente significativa entre as variedades de alface quanto à presença de contaminantes. A existência de contaminantes de origem biológica indica qualidade higiênica insatisfatória das alfaces comercializadas nas feiras livres de Niterói-RJ e o consumo de ambas as variedades da hortaliça, sem lavagem adequada, caracteriza risco de aquisição de enteroparasitos.Universidade Federal de Goiás2014-07-16info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.ufg.br/iptsp/article/view/3112710.5216/rpt.v43i2.31127Revista de Patologia Tropical / Journal of Tropical Pathology; Vol. 43 No. 2 (2014); 209-218Revista de Patologia Tropical / Journal of Tropical Pathology; v. 43 n. 2 (2014); 209-2181980-81780301-0406reponame:Revista de patologia tropical (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Goiás (UFG)instacron:UFGporhttps://revistas.ufg.br/iptsp/article/view/31127/16790info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessVelasco, Ubimar PintoUchôa, Claudia Maria AntunesBarbosa, Alynne da SilvaRocha, Fernanda da SilvaSilva, Valmir Laurentino daBastos, Otilio Machado Pereira2014-09-01T13:03:02Zoai:ojs.revistas.ufg.br:article/31127Revistahttps://revistas.ufg.br/iptspPUBhttps://revistas.ufg.br/iptsp/oairpt.iptsp@ufg.br1980-81780301-0406opendoar:2014-09-01T13:03:02Revista de patologia tropical (Online) - Universidade Federal de Goiás (UFG)false
