Overview of Microbial Foodborne Diseases 2019 Data: Traditional Review

Foodborne Diseases

As the title suggests, this book covers relevant topics on foodborne diseases. Most chapters are descriptive, updated, and, given likely pagelength limitations, concise. Of 21 chapters, 6 cover selected foodborne bacterial pathogens: Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes, Clostridium botulinum and C. perfringens, Yersinia enterocolitica and Y. pseudotuberculosis, pathogenic Vibrio spp., and ...

Epidemiology of foodborne diseases

Emerging foodborne diseases.

The epidemiology of foodborne diseases is rapidly changing. Recently described pathogens, such as Escherichia coli O157:H7 and the epidemic strain of Salmonella serotype Typhimurium Definitive Type 104 (which is resistant to at least five antimicrobial drugs), have become important public health problems. Well-recognized pathogens, such as Salmonella serotype Enteritidis, have increased in prev...

Children and Microbial Foodborne Illness

Consumption of food contaminated with microbial pathogens (bacteria, fungi, parasites, viruses, and their toxins) causes an estimated 76 million illnesses, 325,000 hospitalizations, and 5,000 deaths each year in the United States. People who face relatively higher risks from foodborne illness and associated complications, such as kidney failure, include the very young, the very old, and the imm...

Review Article: An overview of climate change and prevalence of bacterial diseases in salmonid aquaculture

Food fish farming is regarded as one of the most important sectors of the aquaculture industry. Salmon farming is a major contributor to the growth of the aquaculture sector. Climate change is predicted to have a complex impact on aquatic ecosystems, including fisheries and aquaculture. Climate change can cause a fluctuation in water temperature of rivers, lakes, seas, and oceans. This can chan...
