The substance is structurally related to the group of flavonoids evaluated in FGE.32 and is the aglycone of neohesperidine dihydrochalcone. Based on the data provided for [FL-no: 16.137], the Panel considered that a read-across between hesperetin dihydrochalcone and the substances in FGE.32 is not needed. Nevertheless, the flavonoids evaluated in FGE.32 were considered in a cumulative exposure assessment. The information provided on the manufacturing process, the composition and the stability of [FL-no: 16.137] was considered sufficient. The Panel concluded that there is no concern with respect to genotoxicity. No absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME) studies on [FL-no: 16.137] were provided, but studies investigating the ADME of neohesperidine dihydrochalcone were submitted. The Panel noted that [FL-no: 16.137] has the same fate in the organism, as that of neohesperidine dihydrochalcone and considered that [FL-no: 16.137] can be anticipated to be metabolised to innocuous products only. In a prenatal developmental toxicity study, no maternal or foetal toxicity was observed. In a 90-day toxicity study, indications were obtained that the substance affects thyroid hormone levels at all doses tested (100–1000 mg/kg bw per day). Since these changes were not accompanied by apical findings indicative of hypothyroidism, the Panel considered these hormonal effects as not adverse. Using 1000 mg/kg bodyweight (bw) per day as reference point, adequate margins of exposure were calculated for adults and children, when considering the chronic added portions exposure technique (APET) dietary exposure estimates. Cumulative chronic exposure estimates to [FL-no: 16.137] and the four structurally related substances evaluated in FGE.32 do not raise a safety concern.

First, a literature review and a case–control study in commercial pig farms emphasised the importance of biosecurity and farming practices, including the spread of manure around farms and the use of bedding material as risk factors, while the use of insect nets was a protective factor. Second, although wild boar density is a relevant known factor, the statistical and mechanistic models did not show a clear and consistent effect of wild boar density on ASF epidemiology in the selected scenarios. Other factors, such as vegetation, altitude, climate and barriers affecting population connectivity, also played a role on ASF epidemiology in wild boar. Third, knowledge on <i>Ornithodoros erraticus</i> competence, presence and surveillance was updated concluding that this species did not play any role in the current ASF epidemic in affected areas of the EU. Available scientific evidence suggests that stable flies and horse flies are exposed to ASFV in affected areas of the EU and have the capacity to introduce ASFV into farms and transmit it to pigs. However, there is uncertainty about whether this occurs, and if so, to what extent. Fourth, research and field experience from affected countries in the EU demonstrates that the use of fences, potentially used with existing road infrastructure, coupled with other control methods such as culling and carcass removal, can effectively reduce wild boar movements contributing to ASF management in wild boar. Fences can contribute to control ASF in both scenarios, focal introductions and wave-like spread. Fifth, the use of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) vaccines as an immune contraceptive has the potential, as a complementary tool, to reduce and control wild boar populations. However, the development of an oral GnRH vaccine for wild boar still requires substantial additional work.</p>","PeriodicalId":11657,"journal":{"name":"EFSA Journal","volume":"22 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.2903/j.efsa.2024.9095","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142764292","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this Opinion the term ‘fishery products’ only refers to fresh finfish. As there are multiple fish species and numerous potential parasites, <i>Anisakis</i> sp. was used as an indicator of zoonotic parasites in marine areas. This parasite species is particularly suited as it is common in marine environments, capable of infecting multiple fish species and is the subject of the majority of published studies. On the rare occasion where <i>Anisakis</i> sp. data were not available, or all tests were negative, other parasites such as <i>Contracaecum osculatum</i> (s.l.) and/or <i>Phocanema</i> spp. were considered. In freshwater systems, all zoonotic parasites were investigated. Consumption, import and landing data were used to determine the most relevant fish species and, where possible, the source fishing areas were identified. The most commonly consumed wild caught fish species in the EU/EFTA include tuna, cod, Alaskan pollock, hake, herring, sardines, mackerel, trout and saithe. Although the majority of these fish are caught in the Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean and the Black Sea (37) as well as several areas in the Indian Ocean, imported fish may originate from any global fishing areas, with the exception of Antarctica. Based on the data, at least one zoonotic parasite has been reported in at least one fish species in each of the FAO marine fishing areas. Thus, due to relative low fish host specificity of the zoonotic parasites, the panel concluded that all wild caught fish species may be exposed to and infected with zoonotic parasites.
