Introduction (1)
www.csrs.ch
Paragonimiasis
• Neglected tropical disease caused
by lung flukes of the genus
Paragonimus
• Often confused with tuberculosis
(similar symptoms, e.g. chronic
cough, haemoptysis)
• 21 million people are currently
infected
• 11 out of 48 species are human
pathogenic

Introduction (3)
Vibrio infections (cholera and others)
• Consumption of raw or undercooked seafood and contaminated water
• 12 species out of 90 are human pathogenic (V. cholerae, V. parahaemolyticus, V. vulnificus, V. mimicus, V. alginolyticus)
• Lack of data on food-borne illness due to consumption of shellfish in Côte d’Ivoire
• The true incidence of diseases transmitted by fish products is not known since the reporting of food-borne illnesses is not mandatory
• No sanitary control measures in place for shellfish obtained from traditional fishing

Hypothesis
www.csrs.ch
• Among patients of TB centres and children, there are some cases of paragonimiasis because of the lack of differential diagnosis between these two diseases and undercooking crabs by the children on the site of fishing.
• Shellfish sold in local markets would be contaminated with Vibrio, due to the increased concentration of bacteria in coastal waters resulting in global warming • Except Paragonimus africanus and P. uterobilateralis recognized in Côte d’Ivoire, other species of Paragonimus exist in this country and increase the rate of infection of crabs • The emergence of paragonimiasis and Vibrio infection are the result of sociocultural factors

Objectives
General objective
• To assess the health risk from consumption of shellfish sold on local markets in Côte d’Ivoire
Specific objectives
• To determine the prevalence of paragonimiasis among patients attending tuberculosis centres and among schoolchildren
• To determine the prevalence of Paragonimus and Vibrio in crabs and shrimps
• To characterize metacercariae of Paragonimus and strains
of Vibrio that are isolated from crabs and shrimps
• To describe consumption habits of shellfish considered likely to influence the risk of infection with Vibrio and Paragonimus

www.csrs.ch
• Not a single Paragonimus spp. infection was found among the patients and the schoolchildren
• 27.7% of patients of TB centres were infected with at least one helminth or intestinal protozoon
• 22.3% of patients of TB centres were diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis, with higher prevalence in males than females (28.8% vs. 13.9%, p =0.03)
• 34.9% of schoolchildren were infected with at least one helminth or intestinal protozoon, with higher prevalence of helminth infections in boys than girls (32.9% vs. 8.3%, χ2 = 14.30, p <0.001).

Conclusion and recommendations
• Shellfish constitutes an important part of the dietary protein in Côte d’Ivoire
• These products are infected with metacercariae of trematodes and non virulent Vibrio (V. alginolyticus, V. parahaemolyticus and V. cholerae non O1; non O139)
• The risk of paragonimiasis and Vibrio infection is low among the population at risk (schoolchildren, TB patients, consumers)
• Differential diagnosis between paragonimiasis and pulmonary tuberculosis must be done by the medical doctors in TB centres
• People must properly cook shellfish for at least one hour at 100°C because the change in colour does not mean that the product is cooked
• Cross-contamination between raw shellfish and ready-to-eat foods must be avoided
