Association of zoonotic protozoan parasites with microplastics in seawater and implications for human and wildlife health
Zhang, E. et al., Scientific Reports Plastics & Pollution
Their accumulation in the marine food chain may also pose a threat to wildlife that consume species that can accumulate microplastic particles. Microplastic contamination in marine ecosystems has thus raised concerns for both human and wildlife health. [This] study addresses an unexplored area of research targeting the interaction between plastic and pathogen pollution of coastal waters.
