Noroviruses (NoV) have been recognized as an important pathogen associated with acute gastroenteritis worldwide during the past three decades. In the spring of 2012, a series of foodborne outbreaks in tourist groups were reported to Xiamen Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Xiamen, Fujian province, China. Among a total of 268 tourists in 7 groups, the prevalence rate of acute gastroente...

Enteric infections Outbreaks of foodborne disease Ten outbreaks of suspected foodborne disease were investigated in July andAugust 2010. In three of these outbreaks (one of which occurred in an aged-care facility) stool specimens tested positive for Salmonella Typhimurium. In one, samples of the fried ice-cream that the affected people had consumed in a restaurant also tested positive for S. Ty...

Foodborne Listeria monocytogenes poses serious threats to public health. Fast and sensitive detection of the pathogen at point contamination is thus crucial halt spread bacteria-related diseases. Herein, we report for first time a fluorescent film sensor detect biomarker L. monocytogenes, 3-hydroxy-2-butanone. The demonstrated unprecedented sensing performance analyte with limit lower than 0.05...

Foodborne zoonoses are the most neglected discipline due to a lack of awareness potential health hazards, standardized detection methods, and identification infectious host reservoirs. Food is major carriage vehicle for transmission zoonotic pathogens many outbreaks globally. Resilient surveillance holistic intervention effective mitigation strategies at both preharvest (bacteriophages, probiot...

Pork products are a substantial source of human yersiniosis, a foodborne disease caused by Yersinia enterocolitica. Thus, the ability to eliminate this agent from pig herds would be an important step in producing human pathogen-free pork. Pig herds free from Y. enterocolitica O:3/biovar 4 have been established and maintained. According to serologic and cultural testing results, 15 of 16 specifi...

Campylobacter jejuni is one of the leading bacterial causes of human gastroenteritis. Due to the increasing rates of human campylobacteriosis, C. jejuni is considered as a serious public health concern worldwide. C. jejuni is a microaerophilic, fastidious bacterium. C. jejuni must overcome a wide range of stress conditions during foodborne transmission to humans, such as food preservation and p...
