Quantitative risk assessment of Salmonella Enteritidis in shell eggs in Belgium
نویسندگان
چکیده
A quantitative risk assessment of salmonellosis due to consumption of shell eggs contaminated with Salmonella Enteritidis (SE) in Belgium was carried out. The risk model was based on the World Health Organization (WHO)-template (World Health Organization, 2003) for SE in eggs and egg products. The results of the model are in the same order of magnitude as the epidemiological data available. Sensitivity analysis points at the environmental temperature as the main influencing factor in the annual number of salmonellosis cases. Mitigating strategies should therefore focus on temperature, rather than on keeping time.

Background : Salmonella is a short rod shape, gram-negative, non-encapsulated, aerobic and anaerobic options that cause food poisoning in humans. Raw food of animal origin, particularly meat and eggs of birds have important role in the transfer of this disease. Since duck and turkey eggs are very important in the transmission of Salmonellosis and consuming of local and non-industrial eggs of du...
متن کاملCorrelation of eggshell strength and Salmonella enteritidis contamination of commercial shell eggs.
Shell quality has been identified as a heritable trait that can be manipulated by genetic selection. Previous research has concluded that many methods of determining shell quality produce variable results. With the development of newer, more precise measuring technologies, shell strength can now be assessed in a consistent, objective fashion. A research project was conducted to determine what r...
متن کاملQuantitative risk assessment of Salmonella Enteritidis in shell eggs in Europe
Prevalences in terms of the number of eggs contaminated (internally and externally) with Salmonella Enteritidis per million are presented based on a 2 stage Bayesian model. The first stage estimates the average flock prevalence over laying period in the production system and the second stage estimates the proportion of contaminated eggs for an infected flock. These are combined to give the expe...
متن کاملRecovery of Salmonella from commercial shell eggs by shell rinse and shell crush methodologies.
Salmonella is the most important human pathogen associated with shell eggs. Salmonella Enteritidis is the serotype most often implicated in outbreaks, although other serotypes have been recovered from eggs and from the commercial shell egg washing environment. Many sample methods are used to recover microorganisms from eggshells and membranes. A shell rinse and modified shell-and-membrane crush...
متن کاملAn assessment of the microbiological risks involved with egg washing under commercial conditions.
The potential benefits of washing eggs is offset by a historical perception in the European Union that wetted eggs are prone to spoilage and water loss. This study describes the effects of spray jet washing under various processing conditions to shell surface counts of Salmonella and the presence of bacteria in egg contents. Experiments used eggs that were contaminated with Salmonella Enteritid...
