Parastical Ova Isolated from the Various Locations and are the Potential Source of the Parasitic Infection through the Pakistan Currency
2016
There are so many studies of occurrence of microorganisms specially the parasitical ova isolation from the banknotes and coins and causing serious health hazard to the community. Parasitical ova are usually associated with spoilage in foods, but they may also produce toxins and adult parasite after mature can make serious illness and thus their presence on banknotes and on coins is also undesirable and causing serious illness especially the respiratory disease, diarrhea and the itching wound of anal area to children and parasitic infection .Modern bank notes are made up of special blend of 75% cotton and 25% are of linen with small segment of fiber so paper money is something of a in isomer, this formation is of paper money is the potential source ,substrate for the survival of the parasitical ova. While from different locations we buy day to day commodities we transfer these microorganisms from one location to another location and transferring diseases specially to the depilated patients and immunocompromized patients who are at high risk and vulnerable to get disease. The average life span of low denomination paper banknotes is about 24 months. Study is designed to provide the first insight to add to the limited body of literature on microbial contamination of currency (Pakistan currency circulating in country, papers as well as coins currency) and to address growing community concerns about the risk associated with microbial contamination and handling of money in the country.
Objectives:
a. To identify the common pathogens residual on circulating Pakistan’s currency.
b. The microbial contamination of currency to enrich in global information bank on subject as the issue is becoming a major public health concern worldwide.
c. To take the effective measure regarding bio-safety in Pakistan currency circulating in Pakistan.
Methodology: In this total study 720 samples were taken from different locations i.e. from Bank counter243 samples, TM Machine 50 samples, Food seller 94 samples Medical store 35 samples, Milk seller 92 samples, Grocery shop 63 samples, Meat shop 80 samples, Road side mechanic 36 samples, Bus conductor 4 samples and from Beggars’ 23 sample while study period was from 4.32010 to 31.12011 all the specimens were processed according to standard methods.
