Emerging foodborne pathogens

- looks at individual pathogens in detail

Developments such as the increasing globalisation of the food industry, new
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, linked for
the first time to disease in humans or to 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 dramatically. This important book
discusses some of the major emerging pathogens and how they can be identified,
tracked and controlled so that they do not pose a risk to consumers.

After an introductory chapter, Emerging foodborne pathogens is split into two parts.
The first part deals with how pathogens evolve, surveillance methods in the USA and
Europe, risk assessment techniques and the use of food safety objectives. The second
part of the book looks at individual pathogens, their characteristics, methods of
detection and methods of control. These include: Arcobacter; Campylobacter;
Trematodes and helminths; emerging strains of E. coli; Hepatitis viruses; Prion
diseases; Vibrios; Yersinia; Listeria; Helicobacter pylori; Enterobacteriaceae;
Campylobacter; Mycobacterium paratuberculosis; and enterocci.

Emerging foodborne pathogens will be a standard reference for microbiologists and QA
staff in the food industry, and food safety scientists working in governments and
the research community.
