Objective: To analyze cockroach infestation and its intestinal pathogen infection status in catering places in Pudong New Area, Shanghai, China, so as to provide scientific suggestions for cockroach control and the prevention and control of infectious diarrhea in catering places. Methods: From April 2021 to March 2022, cockroach infestation survey and sampling were conducted using cockroach traps in five types of catering places in 12 subdistricts and towns of Pudong New Area in the middle of each month. The captured cockroaches were examined for intestinal pathogens. Excel 2019 and SPSS 22.0 were used for data collation and statistical analysis. Results: In the catering places of Pudong New Area, the cockroach infestation rate was 20.83%, and the cockroach density was 0.74 cockroaches/trap. Blattella germanica (65.79%) and Periplaneta fuliginosa (34.21%) were captured, with a statistical difference in the constituent ratio in various types of places (χ²=126.509, P < 0.001). The cafeterias of enterprises and public institutions had the highest cockroach infestation rate and density, which were 29.03% and 1.32 cockroaches/trap, respectively. The pathogen detection rate of the cockroach samples was 28.13%. A total of 53 groups of 7 categories of pathogens were detected, including Sapovirus, Norovirus, Astrovirus, Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC), Aeromonas hydrophila, Blastocystis hominis, and Cryptosporidium. The dominant pathogens carried by B. germanica were Sapovirus, B. hominis, and STEC, and those carried by P. fuliginosa were Sapovirus, STEC, and A. hydrophila. Conclusion: Cockroaches in catering places in Pudong New Area carried various human intestinal pathogens, so attention should be paid to targeted cockroach control strategies in catering places.
