1 WASTEWATER FOOD HEALTH CHAIN Avrelija Cencič Infectious Diseases Infectious diseases can be defined as those diseases, which are caused by microorganism or their toxic secretions that penetrate the natural barriers in the body and multiply within to cause disease. Infectious diseases continue to be the third leading cause of death in the United States annually and the second leading cause of death worldwide (Fauci, Touchette, & Folkers, 2005). There are approximately 57 million deaths occurring throughout the world each year. 1
2 Emerging pathogens A newly emerging disease is a disease that has never been recognized before. HIV/AIDS, Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), Nipah virus encephalitis, and variant Creutzfeld-Jakob disease (vcjd) Re-emerging pathogens Re-emerging, or resurging, diseases are those that have been around for decades or centuries, but have come back in a different form or a different location. HEV West Nile virus in the Western hemisphere, Monkeypox in the United States, and Dengue rebounding in Brazil and other parts of South America and working its way into the Caribbean. persist 2
3 Deliberately emerging Deliberately emerging diseases are those that are intentionally introduced The apocalyptic religious sect Aum Shinrikyo released sarin gas in a Tokyo subway, killing 12 commutes and injuring thousands. The cult also had enlisted Ph.D. scientists to launch biological attacks. Between 1993 and 1995, Aum Shinrikyo tried as many as 10 times to spray botulinum toxin and anthrax in downtown Tokyo (NOVA Online, 2002) Just one week after the terrible September 11th, terrorist attack, letters containing anthrax spores were sent to Tom Brokaw at NBC News in New York, the New York Post, and Senator Tom Daschle in Washington, D.C. Twenty-two individuals were made sick by the spores, five of which died of inhalation anthrax (NOVA Online, 2002). 3
4 Microbial adaptation and change Technology and industry Breakdown in public health or control Factors that are involved in reemerging and emerging of pathogens International travel and commerce Ecological changes Human demographics, behaviour Breakdown of the host s defenses 4
5 Gastrointestinal infections Gastrointestinal infection (infectious intestinal disease) can be caused by a variety of communicable diseases and infections, which gain entry by and/or affect the gastrointestinal tract. Symptoms of gastrointestinal infection, which are not necessarily confined to diarrhoea and vomiting, are caused by the organisms themselves or by the toxins that they produce. 5
6 Pathogens 6
7 E. Coli Is one of the main species of bacteria living in the lower intestines of mammals, known as gut flora. When located in the large intestine, it actually assists with waste processing, vitamin K production, and food absorption. Gram-negative bacterial rod occurs as a Vero cytotoxin-producing species (VTEC), mostly of serogroup 0157 The cause of outbreaks of haemorrhagic colitis since the early 1980s, A not infrequent complication is the haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS) 7
8 Source of contamination with E. coli Water contamination with E. coli O157:H7 The presence of E. coli in water is a strong indication of recent sewage or animal waste contamination. Sewage may contain many types of disease-causing organisms E. coli comes into water during rainfalls, snow melts, or other types of precipitation, E. coli may be washed into creeks, rivers, streams, lakes, or ground water. When these waters are used as sources of drinking water and the water is not treated or inadequately treated, E. coli may end up in drinking water. 8
9 Salmonella enteritidis Egg-associated salmonellosis is an important public health problem Salmonella enterica are involved in causing diseases of the intestines (enteric means pertaining to the intestine). The three main serovars of Salmonella enterica are Typhimurium, Enteritidis, and Typhi S. Typhi This bacterium is the causative agent of typhoid fever. It is very common in under-developed countries, and causes a serious, often fatal disease. Symptoms of typhoid fever include nausea, vomiting, fever and death. S. Typhi can only infect humans, and no other host has been identified. The main source of S. Typhi infection is from swallowing infected water. Food may also be contaminated with S. Typhi, if it is washed or irrigated with contaminated water. 9
10 S. Typhimurium Until recently the most common cause of food poisoning by Salmonella species was due to S. Typhimurium. As its name suggests, it causes a typhoid-like disease The disease is characterized by diarrhea, abdominal cramps, vomiting and nausea, and generally lasts up to 7 days not normally fatal S. Enteritidis has become the single most common cause of food poisoning causes a disease almost identical to the very closely related S. Typhimurium. is particularly adept at infecting chicken flocks without causing visible disease, and spreading from hen to hen rapidly. mass production chicken farms. Salmonella infection can rapidly spread throughout the whole food chain. chickens from a single farm may be distributed over many cities, and even states, and hence Salmonella infections can be rapidly dispersed through millions of people. 10
11 Enteroviruses Over 100 types in human and animal waste To environment via waste water, aerosols from WWTP, rivers, Transmission: foecal-oral In the sludge virus particles/g Intracellular pathogens Characteristics Very resistant in the environmetn (ph, temp., chlorine, UV) Cause of gastroenteritis, respiratory diseases, conjuctivitis, aseptic meningitis, encephalitis, paralyses Low infectious dose Risk in water 10- do x higher than for pathogenic bacteria 11
12 Survival More resistant than bacteria Survival classical desinfection techniques (chlorine, filtration ) Lipid solubilisers resistant ph = 3 to 10 Long lasting low temperatures 120 days in waste water, 100 days in soil at temperatures C Enteroviruses Picornaviridae Caliciviridae Adenoviridae Poliovirus, Hepatitis virus, echovirus, Norvovirus, kalicivirus, astrovirus, Adenovirus Reoviridae Reovirus, rotavirus Emerging waterborne pathogens!! 12
13 Hepatitis E virus 20% of people through the world have been already contaminated Mortality rate about 1 to 3% (up to 25% for pregnant women) Non-enveloped, positive sense, single-stranded RNA virus from Hepeviridae virus family HEV Contamination Faeces Contaminated animals Water 4 Liver 3 Plants
14 A) Age and sex distribution of acute hepatitis E patients, (n = 604). B) Age, sex distribution, and travel associated with indigenous acute hepatitis E case-patients (n = 143). NR, not recorded. Avian influenza Avian influenza, or "bird flu", is a contagious disease caused by Influenza A viruses that normally infect only birds and, less commonly some mammals such as pigs. Avian influenza viruses can be highly speciesspecific, but have, on occasions, crossed the species barrier to infect humans and other mammals. The currently circulating H5N1 viruses represent a previously unrecognized type of avian influenza that is causing fatal infections in wild birds, domestic poultry, mammals like cats, and occasionally humans on a broad geographic scale. 14
15 Scheme of avian influenza pathogenesis and transmission 15
16 Bacterial indicator as enterococci, coliforms and faecal coliforms are not the ONLY INDICATORS OF MICROBIAL QUALITY OF WATER!! 16
17 Focus: Assessment of microbial quality of wastewaters and disposed sludge that can be of potential use in agriculture. Objectives: To investigate the presence of potential human pathogens (viruses, bacteria) in wastewater and disposed sludge. To assess the microbial risk of wastewaters and disposed sludge. EXAMPLE TWO WASTE WATER TREATMENT PLANTS Samples were taken on exact estimated point; (a) at point where wastewater is pumped into tank where biological treatment starts (20l) (b) at the end of the process where the water is pumped to hydro channel (20l) (c) sample of sludge after centrifugation process and dried sludge at the end of the process (10 l and 100g) 17
