In many countries, consumption of raw vegetables is an important constituent of the diet. Raw vegetables are a great source of fiber, protein, minerals, vitamins, and fluid [1]. It can get contaminated with intestinal parasitic pathogens, including Viruses, bacteria and parasites during production, collection, transport or preparation of raw vegetables [2]. Prevalence of intestinal parasites is dependent on several factors including economic and social conditions, the use of water supplies contaminated with sewage for irrigation, untreated wastewater, to preserve and consumption of raw vegetables without proper washing [3]. Several parasites, including protozoa and helminthes have been shown to be transmitted through raw vegetables. In addition, many outbreaks of protozoan infections in humans have been related [4-5]. Over 40 million individuals are affected worldwide and 10% of the world population is at the risk of contamination [6]. There are limited studies on the possible contamination of freshly eaten raw vegetables in Iran and no previous studies have been conducted to evaluate the presence of parasitic contamination in vegetables in Yazd. Therefore, this study was designed to study the parasitic contamination on fresh raw vegetables consumed in Yazd, Iran, and risk for consumer during 2017-2018.
