| Abstract: |
The laboratory of Foodborne Parasitic Zoonoses (LFBP) studies helminth zoonoses with an emphasis on the following (groups of) parasites: Taenia solium, Taenia saginata, Sarcocystis spp. and Anisakidae. The group uses a holistic approach, including the host, parasite and environment and tackling the diseases from a multidisciplinary, One Health perspective, within Belgium, the European Union, but equally so in endemic areas in the South.
The marine research applications concern the study of the occurrence in Belgium of marine roundworms (nematodes), Anisakis and Pseudoterranova species, which have marine mammals and fish eating birds as final hosts, crustceans as first intermediate host and cephalopods and saltwater fish as second intermediate hosts or paratenic host. Furthermore the laboratory studies their impact on the fish industry, and looks into more rapid diagnostics and methods to remove larvae from the fish fillets. Additionally the laboratory studies bacterial and allergic concerns related to these parasites. |
