Synopsis

Developments such as the increasing globalisation of the food industry, constant innovations in technologies and products, and changes in the susceptibility of populations to disease, have all highlighted the problem of emerging pathogens. Pathogens may be defined as emerging in a number of ways. They can be newly- discovered (e.g. through more sensitive analytical methods), linked for the first time to disease in humans, or first associated with a particular food. A pathogen may also be defined as 'emerging' when significant new strains emerge from an existing pathogen, or if the incidence of a pathogen increases. Designed for microbiologists and QA staff in the food industry, and food safety scientists working in governments and academia, this collection discusses ways of identifying emerging pathogens and includes chapters on individual pathogens, their epidemiology, methods of detection and means of control.

Key Features: discusses identification issues; looks at surveillance methods and the tracking of viruses; looks at individual pathogens in detail.

Contents: Part 1 Identification issues: How bacterial pathogens evolve; Surveillance for emerging pathogens in the United States; Surveillance of emerging pathogens in Europe; Tracking emerging pathogens: the case of noroviruses; Industrial food microbiology and emerging foodborne pathogens; Microbiological risk assessment for emerging pathogens; The role of food safety objectives in dealing with emerging pathogens. Part 2 Individual pathogens: Acrobacter; Foodborne trematodes and helminths; Emerging strains of E.coli; Hepatitis viruses; Prion diseases; Vibrios; Yersinia enterocolitica; Helicobacter pylori; Enterobacteriaceae; Campylobacter; Mycobacterium paratuberculosis; Enterocci.
