Food and water contamination by human viruses is a great health problem. These viruses are shed in stools. Norwalk-like viruses, hepatitis E virus, poliovirus, echovirus, hepatitis A virus, rotavirus, astrovirus, enteric adenovirus and parvovirus B19 have been described. The most important ones are Norwalk-like viruses, rotavirus and hepatitis A virus as reported in epidemiological surveys. The most frequently implicated foods are shellfish (bivalve mollusks) harvested from waters contaminated with human sewage, as well as water itself. The other source of infection is the handling of food in poor hygienic conditions. In this case contaminated foods are vegetables, sandwiches, fruits, pastries that are soiled. The detection of viruses in foods is difficult for several reasons: Virusfood interactions make difficult the concentration and the purification of viruses, several virus species are difficult or unable to grow in cell culture, furthermore viruses are present in the sample in very low amounts. Molecular techniques are therefore the methods of choice for detecting these viruses, especially the polymerase chain reaction which is often described. Another possibility consists in a fecal viral indicator. Bacteriophages seem to be the most promising in this respect.

Determination of the Aeromonas group in deep frozen food , contaminated environmental water and relationship in humans | Identification d'Aeromonas dans les aliments surgelés contaminés par l'eau. Conséquences pour l'homme

Aeromonas, like other human enteropathogens, are capable of producing infections at sites outside the gastrointestinal tract and skin, via food or water . The presence of Aeromonas in foodstuffs and in particular the possibility of its growth under refrigerated conditions leads to the conclusion that refrigerated may present potential sources of food borne infection. 24 strains used in our study were from different sources, water, faeces, blood, sweat, row milk, and poultry sausages samples.The most frequent strain A. hydrophila, was found and also A. salmonicida, A. caviae and A. sobria . Refrigerated food may be contaminated with both psychrotrophic and mesophilic pathogens.
