Opis

Handbook of Foodborne Diseases presents 100 of the most common foodborne diseases due to viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites as well as foodborne toxins of microbial, seafood, plant and environmental origins. Each chapter presents a state of art review on one type of pathogen or toxin in relation to its classification, biology, epidemiology, clinical features, pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment and prevention, together with a concise discussion on further research requirement that is critical for the ultimate eradication/elimination of foodborne infections and diseases. The book is an indispensable guide for medical, veterinary and food scientists engaged in foodborne disease research.

O autorze

Dongyou Liu, Ph.D., undertook veterinary science education at Hunan Agricultural University, China, and postgraduate training at Melbourne University, Australia. Over the past two decades, he has worked at several research and clinical laboratories in Australia and the United States of America, with focuses on molecular characterization and virulence determination of microbial pathogens (e.g., ovine footrot bacterium, dermatophyte fungi and foodborne listeria) and more recently on the development of nucleic acid-based quality assurance models for security sensitive and emerging viral pathogens. He is the primary author of > 50 original research and review articles in peer-reviewed international journals, the contributor of 176 book chapters, and the editor of a number of books including: Molecular Detection of Foodborne Pathogens (2009), Molecular Detection of Human Viral Pathogens (2010), Molecular Detection of Human Bacterial Pathogens (2011), Molecular Detection of Human Fungal Pathogens (2011), Molecular Detection of Human Parasitic Pathogens (2012), and Laboratory Models for Foodborne Infections (2017).
