Abstract

We have been interested in the feasibility of using ionizing radiations as a possible means of reducing or controlling certain parasitic infections of man and animals, particularly those transmitted by contact with contaminated soil or by ingestion of contaminated food. Investigators in food technology have been exploring the possible use of radiation in the sterilization of food by the application of doses of radiation sufficient to inhibit the growth of microorganisms, such as bacteria, molds, and yeasts. Information on the effect of similar radiations on food-borne parasites is therefore desirable.
