Microbiological and chemical quality of ice used to preserve fish in Lisbon mar...
Teixeira, Pedro; Brandão, João; Silva, Susana; Babič, Monika Novak; Gunde-Cimerman, Nina; Pires, Joana; Costa, Sílvia; Valério, ElisabeteIce is widely used to preserve fish on markets, playing a major role in the food industry. If manufactured, stored or distributed in inadequate sanitary conditions, it can represent a considerable health risk for both consumers and professionals. The present study characterizes ice used in marketplaces, on microbiological and chemical parameters. The aim was to assess potential risks on occupational exposure an...
Beach sand and the potential for infectious disease transmission: observations ...
Solo-Gabriele, Helena M.; Harwood, Valerie J.; Kay, David; Fujioka, Roger S.; Sadowsky, Michael J.; Whitman, Richard L.; Wither, Andrew; Caniça, Manuela"Recent studies suggest that sand can serve as a vehicle for exposure of humans to pathogens at beach sites, resulting in increased health risks. Sampling for microorganisms in sand should therefore be considered for inclusion in regulatory programmes aimed at protecting recreational beach users from infectious disease. Here, we review the literature on pathogen levels in beach sand, and their potential for aff...
Children and sand play: screening of potential harmful microorganisms in sandbo...
Romão, Daniela; Sabino, Raquel; Veríssimo, Cristina; Viegas, Carla; Barroso, Helena; Duarte, Aida; Solo-Gabriele, Helena; Gunde-Cimerman, NinaSand serves as a reservoir for potentially pathogenic microorganisms. Children, a high-risk group, can acquire infections from sand in sandboxes, recreational areas, and beaches. This paper reviews the microbes in sands, with an emphasis on fungi. Recreational areas and beach sands have been found to harbor many types of fungi and microbes. A newly emerging group of fungi of concern include the black yeast-like...

Romão, Daniela; Sabino, Raquel; Veríssimo, Cristina; Viegas, Carla; Barroso, Helena; Duarte, Aida; Solo-Gabriele, Helena; Gunde-Cimerman, NinaSand serves as a reservoir for potentially pathogenic microorganisms. Children, a high risk group, can acquire infections from sand in sandboxes, recreational areas, and beaches. This paper reviews the microbes in sands, with an emphasis on fungi. Currently monitoring in sandboxes is limited to measurements of Toxocara eggs, although other microbes have been documented. Recreational areas and beach sands have a...
