Raw vegetables can be agents of transmission of intestinal parasites. This study aimed to determinernthe prevalence of parasite contamination of selected raw vegetables (lettuce, cabbage, tomato andrncarrot) from farms and sold in major Addis Ababa markets. Sampling locations (Kaliti, Kera,rnPeackok, Goffa) were selected based on their accessibility. Merkato and Atikelt tera represented thernvegetable markets. Out of 384 vegetable samples examined, 148(38.5%) were contaminated withrnparasite eggs and /or cysts. The parasites detected were Ascaris lumbricoides (20.3%),rnCryptosporidium spp (8.6%), Entamoeba histolytica/dispar (7.6%), hookworm species (6.8%),rnGiardia lamblia (5.5%), Enterobius vermicularis (4.2%), Trichuris trichiura (1.3%) and Taenia spprn(1.0%). Overall, the highest parasite contamination was detected in lettuce (58.3%), followed byrncabbage (37.5%), tomato (33.3%) and carrot (25%). Lettuce from the farms were more contaminatedrn(64.1%) than those from markets (46.9%) and the difference was statistically significant (P
Subsurface Intelligence & Critical Mineral Exploration
Modern Geology projects now focus on Machine Learning in Mineral Targeting, Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS) Geologic Modeling, and Critical Mineral Systems (Lithium, REEs). If your research involves Hydrogeological Connectivity, Seismic Inversion, or Geotechnical Site Characterization, ensure your analysis follows the JORC or NI 43-101 reporting standards and utilizes robust 3D Subsurface Visualization and Geochemical Fingerprinting frameworks.
