This report provides a review of the literature on "Cryptosporidium" and helps to identify the findings and formulates the key research questions. It covers these central questions: What are the sources/carriers of human pathogenic strains and what are the key species for a range of catchments? What is the contribution of pre and post weaned cattle and sheep to catchment contamination? What data on animal management practices (including vegetation management of riparian zones) is available? What are the different climatic zones across catchments and how will this impact on the survival and...

While a number of introductory books on basic and molecular biology are available, none highlight the foodborne parasitic pathogens. Until now. A state-of-the-art review, Biology of Foodborne Parasites charts significant progress and outlines key biological techniques applied to foodborne parasitic pathogens research. The book covers basic biology, genetics and genomics, epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, control, and prevention. It showcases recent research that can then be used to spark further breakthroughs.

The book addresses challenging issues in food pathogen...
