Locating the source of large scale outbreaks of foodborne disease
Foodborne illness outbreaks impose enormous health and economic burdens in the US. Identifying the origin of the contaminated food causing an outbreak is a challenging problem due to the complexity of the food supply and the absence of coherent labeling and distribution records. Current …

Optimization of the Quality and Safety of Cooked Seafood Products
… remain some of the most common carriers of foodborne disease. Cooking these products at elevated temperatures efficiently reduces foodborne disease causing pathogens to a safe level, but applying too much heat to seafood products can produce an overcooked, low quality food. It is necessary …

Analysis of food safety and food handling knowledge among street food vendors in selected local food markets in Windhoek
Contaminated food leads to foodborne disease outbreaks (FDO) that cause millions of deaths among people every year. In Namibia, many low and middle-income consumers use street-vended foods (SVF) with compromised quality of raw materials, degraded handling and storage conditions that do not meet …

The impact of personnel, training, culture and organisational factors on application of the HACCP system for food safety management in a multinational organisation
… accepted mechanism for control of foodborne disease through food safety assurance. It is a generally held belief that HACCP is best applied by a multidisciplinary team, thus delivering a stronger food safety system than could be developed by individuals working alone. However, the …

In vitro model development for novel prevention measures against foodborne pathogens
Foodborne disease prevention can benefit from improved antimicrobial applications and targeted approaches to investigating phenomena that drive the presence and absence of pathogens in our foods. The use of suboptimal methodologies for these investigations remains a hurdle to furthering …

Multiscale Modelling of Foodborne Diseases
Infectious disease systems are essentially multiscale complex system wherein pathogens multiply within hosts, spread across people, and infect entire populations of hosts. The description of most biological processes involves multiple, interconnected phenomena occurring on different spatial and …
