Cockroaches were caught through sweeping combined with trapping from different locations indoor including toilette's, kitchens, dormers, and classrooms in the study area. Food-borne disease is a widespread and escalating public health problem globally. About a quarter of the microorganisms isolated from cockroaches are food-borne pathogens including Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aurous, Bacillus cereus Shigella dysenteries,
Salmonella enterica subso, enterica serovar Typhi, Rotavirus, Aspergillus fumigatus, and Cryptosporidium parvumThus, cockroaches could be an important reservoir and mechanical vector of food-borne pathogens Generally, the role of cockroaches in human infections is poorly understood and has been an issue of debate for several years. This article aims to elucidate the possible role of cockroaches in food-borne infections by reviewing the relevant research publications.
