Prevention and control of listeriosis
نویسنده
چکیده
Despite growing concern among public health services and specialists in food hygiene, relatively little is known about listeriosis in man and animals. For this reason, the W H O organised a consultation in West Berlin, from 10 to 12 December 1986. The aim of this meeting was to set out the current state of knowledge about these diseases as well as useful directions for future research, and to recommend preven tive measures. The present report , written by the OIE representative at the Berlin meeting, offers a brief outline of these questions.

From 1987 to 1997, the incidence of l...
متن کاملRisk factors for sporadic listeriosis in the Netherlands, 2008 to 2013.
Although the disease burden of listeriosis on population level is low, on individual level the impact is high, largely due to severe illness and a high case fatality. Identification of risk factors supports and specifies public health actions needed for prevention. We performed a case–control study to determine host- and food-related risk factors for non-perinatal listeriosis in the Netherlands...

Listeria monocytogenes is an opportunistic intracellular pathogen that has become an important cause of human foodborne infections worldwide. Given its close relationship to other Listeria species and its tendency to produce non-specific clinical symptoms, the availability of rapid, sensitive and specific diagnostic tests for the differentiation of L. monocytogenes from other Listeria species i...
متن کاملMANAGEMENT REVIEW Listeriosis in Pregnancy: Diagnosis, Treatment, and Prevention
Listeriosis is a rare disease that causes mild maternal illness, but can be devastating to the fetus. Listeria’s rare microbiologic features make it a difficult infection to diagnose and treat: it is an intracellular organism that hides within host cells. Because of the potentially severe consequences, it is important that obstetricians are familiar with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention...
