[Use of microwave ovens in the prevention of opisthorchiasis]
Abstract:
The studies were performed to evaluate the impact of microwave radiation on the larval stages of parasites and particularly on the survival of Opisthorchis metacercariae when fish was cooked in domestic microwave ovens. It was found to take less time to free fish and its products from Opisthorchis metacercariae in the microwave oven than that to cook the product completely. The performed experiments have shown that the use of microwave ovens to domestically prepare carps from unfavorable opisthorchiasis water reservoirs is an effective mean of freeing fishes from Opisthorchis metacercariae.

Methods of Sterilization I: Physical Methods
Steam sterilization uses non-toxic, low-cost moist heat in the form of saturated steam under pressure, which is fast, microbicidal, and sporicidal, and quickly warms and penetrates fabrics. Autoclaves, or steam sterilizers, expose each item to direct steam contact for a predetermined time at the necessary...
