Haiti - Health : Foods from markets and in school, contamination risk factors 28/11/2011 09:47:23 The study indicates that "the majority of people who contracted cholera have fed on the markets or in school, this leads to several hypotheses. The bacterium was already present in food and has not been eliminated due to inadequate cooking, the food was contaminated during preparation or after cooking and then was poorly preserved." Unexpectedly, the study also found that "the pigs were a risk factor. Although the presence of vibrio cholerae in the feces of animals, including pigs, has already been demonstrated, it has never been directly associated with the risk of contracting cholera. This association is still not understood and requires further research," says the study which also suggests the search for the presence of Vibrio cholerae in foods ready to eat and to investigate the procedures for preparation and storage of food sold in markets and schools.
