Risk Assessment of Listeria Monocytogenes in Ready-to-Eat Foods

Risk Assessment of Listeria Monocytogenes in Ready-to-Eat Foods: Interpretative Summary (Microbiological Risk Assessment Series)

Product Details
»Book Publisher: World Health Organization (January, 2004)
»ISBN: 9241562617
»Book author: World Health Organization

Book Description:
Listeria monocytogenes is widely dispersed in the environment and foods and is capable of growing even at refrigeration temperatures. Foodborne listeriosis, although relatively rare, is a clinically serious disease with a high case-fatality rate that largely affects specific higher-risk segments of the population. Cases of listeriosis appear to be predominately associated with ready-to-eat products. FAO and WHO have undertaken a risk assessment to addresses the risk of listeriosis associated with these foods and specific risk management questions posed by the Codex Committee on Food Hygiene (CCFH) This volume provides a summary of that risk assessment.

The interpretative summary includes an overview of the risk assessment with a particular focus on information that would be relevant to risk managers faced with addressing problems posed by this pathogen in ready-to-eat foods. It includes answers to the specific risk management questions posed by the CCFH and outlines the issues to be considered when implementing control measures, including the establishment of microbiological criteria.

This volume and others in this Microbiological Risk Assessment Series contain information that is useful to both risk assessors and risk managers, the Codex Alimentarius Commission, governments and food regulatory agencies, industries and other people or institutions with an interest in the area of Listeria monocytogenes, its impact of public health and food trade and the use microbiological risk assessment in its control.

The Grand Challenge for the Future: Vaccines for Poverty-Related Diseases from Bench to Field

The Grand Challenge for the Future: Vaccines for Poverty-Related Diseases from Bench to Field (Birkhäuser Advances in Infectious Diseases)

* Hardcover: 290 pages
* Publisher: Birkhauser; 1 edition (August 11, 2005)
* Language: English
* ISBN: 3764371757

Book Description
The most urgently needed vaccines are those against poverty-related diseases such as tuberculosis, malaria and HIV. However, there is a considerable gap between the development of a vaccine and the implementation as a useful measure for disease control. Major obstacles need to be overcome even after successful completion of the preclinical stage. This book provides an important link between vaccine development and application under the particular conditions in developing countries. The editors, S.H.E. Kaufmann and P.H. Lambert - one from the field of basic research and the other an expert on the side of applied vaccinology - have gathered contributions from specialists of both fields in an attempt to create a source of information that has thus far not been available.
