Emerging Foodborne Pathogens.EMERGING FOODBORNE PATHOGENS Edited by Yasmine Motarjemi & Martin Adams Published 2006 Hardback 639 Pages Price 150.00 [pounds sterling] Developments such as the increasing globalisation of the food industry, new technologies, products and changes in the susceptibility of populations to disease have highlighted the problem of emerging pathogens. This book discusses some of the major emerging pathogens and how they can be identified, tracked and controlled so they do not pose a risk to consumers. Chapter Titles: 1. How Bacterial Pathogens Evolve. 2 Surveillance for Emerging Pathogens in the United States. 3. Surveillance of Emerging Pathogens in Europe. 4. Tracking Emerging Pathogens:the Case of Noroviruses. 5. Industrial Food Microbiology and Emerging Foodbome Pathogens. 6. Microbiological Risk Assessment for Emerging Pathogens. 7. Food Safety Objectives and Related Concepts: the Role of the Food Industry. 8. Arcobacter. 9. Foodborne Trematodes and Helminths helminths (hel´minths), n.pl the parasitic worms that cause disease and illness in humans such as tapeworm, pinworm, and trichinosis. They are usually transmitted via contaminated food, water, soil, or other objects. . 10. Emerging Pathogenic E. Coll. 11. Hepatitis Viruses. 12. Prion Disease. 13. Vibrios vibrios (vib´rēōs´), n.pl bacteria belonging to the genus Vibrio found in plaque after 1 to 2 weeks of no flossing or brushing. . 14. Yersinia Yersinia A genus of bacteria in the Enterobacteriaceae family. The bacteria appear as gram-negative rods and share many physiological properties with related Escherichia coli. Of the 11 species of Yersinia, Y. pestis, Y. enterocolitica, and Y. Enterrocolitica. 15. Listeria. 16. Helicobacter Pylori. 17. Enterobacteriaceae. 18. Campylobacter Campylobacter Genus of gram-negative spiral-shaped bacteria infecting mammals. Many species, especially C. fetus, cause miscarriage in sheep and cattle. C. jejuni is a common cause of food poisoning. Sources include meats (particularly chicken) and unpasteurized milk. . 19. Mycobactgerium paratuberculosis. 20. Enterococci enterococci bacteria in the genus Enterococcus. . |
