Proteomic Insights into the Biology of the Most Important Foodborne Parasites in Europe

Robert Stryiński et al. Foods. .

Abstract

Foodborne parasitoses compared with bacterial and viral-caused diseases seem to be neglected, and their unrecognition is a serious issue. Parasitic diseases transmitted by food are currently becoming more common. Constantly changing eating habits, new culinary trends, and easier access to food make foodborne parasites' transmission effortless, and the increase in the diagnosis of foodborne parasitic diseases in noted worldwide. This work presents the applications of numerous proteomic methods into the studies on foodborne parasites and their possible use in targeted diagnostics. Potential directions for the future are also provided.

Keywords: biomarker; food; foodborne parasite; liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS); proteomics.
