Article Synopsis
- Foodborne infections, specifically T. gondii, H. pylori, and HAV, can impact health through direct infection effects and immune system modulation.
- A study conducted on 505 Icelandic individuals revealed antibody prevalence rates of 9.8% for T. gondii, 36.3% for H. pylori, and 4.9% for HAV, with certain risk factors influencing these rates.
- The findings suggest that while these infections do not increase the likelihood of asthma or atopy, T. gondii infection may be linked to reduced lung function, as indicated by a lower FEV/FVC ratio.
