Illness and death from diseases caused by contaminated food are a constant threat to public health significant impediment socio-economic development worldwide. To measure the global regional burden of foodborne disease (FBD), World Health Organization (WHO) established Foodborne Disease Burden Epidemiology Reference Group (FERG), which here reports their first estimates incidence, mortality, due 31 hazards. We find that FBD is comparable those major infectious diseases, HIV/AIDS, malaria...
BackgroundExtended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli (ESBL-EC), plasmid-mediated AmpC-producing E (pAmpC-EC), and other bacteria are resistant to important β-lactam antibiotics. ESBL-EC pAmpC-EC increasingly reported in animals, food, the environment, community-acquired health-care-associated human infections. These infections usually preceded by asymptomatic carriage, for which attributions animal, environmental, sources remain unquantified.MethodsIn this population-based...
Background The Foodborne Disease Burden Epidemiology Reference Group (FERG) was established in 2007 by the World Health Organization (WHO) to estimate global burden of foodborne diseases (FBDs). This estimation is complicated because most hazards causing FBD are not transmitted solely food; have several potential exposure routes consisting transmission from animals, humans, and via environmental including water. paper describes an expert elicitation study conducted FERG Source Attribution...
Background Recently the World Health Organization, Foodborne Disease Burden Epidemiology Reference Group (FERG) estimated that 31 foodborne diseases (FBDs) resulted in over 600 million illnesses and 420,000 deaths worldwide 2010. Knowing relative role importance of different foods as exposure routes for key hazards is critical to preventing illness. This study reports findings a structured expert elicitation providing globally comparable food source attribution estimates 11 major FBDs each...
An increase in confirmed human salmonellosis cases the EU after 2014 triggered investigation of contributory factors and control options poultry production. Reconsideration five current target serovars for breeding hens showed that there is justification retaining Salmonella Enteritidis, Typhimurium (including monophasic variants) Infantis, while Virchow Hadar could be replaced by Kentucky either Heidelberg, Thompson or a variable serovar national prevalence targets. However, incorporates...
Abstract We describe Salmonella control programs of broiler chickens, layer hens, and pigs in Denmark. Major reductions the incidence foodborne human salmonellosis have occurred by integrated farms food processing plants. Disease has been achieved monitoring herds flocks, eliminating infected animals, diversifying animals (animals products are processed differently depending on status) animal according to determined risk. In 2001, Danish society saved U.S.$25.5 million controlling...
Based on the data from integrated Danish Salmonella surveillance in 1999, we developed a mathematical model for quantifying contribution of each major animal-food sources to human salmonellosis. The was set up calculate number domestic and sporadic cases caused by different sero phage types as function prevalence these amount food source consumed. A multiparameter prior accounting presumed but unknown differences between serotypes with respect causing salmonellosis also included. joint...
Salmonella and Campylobacter are the most important bacterial causes of foodborne illness in Europe. To identify prioritize food safety interventions, it is to quantify burden human attributable specific sources. Data from outbreak investigations observed at public health endpoint can therefore be a direct measure attribution point exposure. An analysis or summary useful for attributing illnesses foods, but often implicated foods reported outbreaks complex containing several items, many...
Background The Foodborne Disease Burden Epidemiology Reference Group (FERG) was established in 2007 by the World Health Organization to estimate global burden of foodborne diseases (FBDs). This paper describes methodological framework developed FERG's Computational Task Force transform epidemiological information into FBD estimates. Methods and Findings regional 31 FBDs quantified, along with limited estimates for 5 other FBDs, using Disability-Adjusted Life Years a hazard- incidence-based...
Background: In addition to medical antimicrobial usage, the use of antimicrobials in food animals contributes occurrence resistance among some bacterial species isolated from infections humans. Recently, several studies have indicated that a large proportion Escherichia coli causing humans, especially those resistant antimicrobials, an animal origin. Methods: We analyzed correlation between prevalence E. isolates blood stream humans and poultry, pigs, cattle 2005 2008 for 11 countries, using...
A Bayesian modelling approach comparing the occurrence of Salmonella serovars in animals and humans was used to attribute salmonellosis cases broilers, turkeys, pigs, laying hens, travel outbreaks 24 European Union countries. data for humans, covering period from 2007 2009, were mainly obtained studies reports published by Food Safety Authority.

Animal source foods (ASF) such as dairy, eggs, fish and meat are an important of high-quality nutrients. Lack ASF in diets can result developmental disorders including stunting, anemia, poor cognitive motor development. more effective preventing stunting than other promoting consumption low- middle-income countries could help improve health, particularly among pregnant women young children. Production are, however, also associated with potential food safety risks. Strengthening control...
Abstract The emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one the biggest health threats globally. In addition, use drugs in humans and livestock considered an important driver resistance. commensal microbiota, especially intestinal has been shown to have role AMR. Mobile genetic elements (MGEs) also play a central facilitating acquisition spread AMR genes. We isolated Escherichia coli (n = 627) from fecal samples respectively 25 poultry, 28 swine, 15 veal calf herds 6 European countries...
Salmonella remains a major cause of foodborne outbreaks in Europe despite the implementation harmonized control programmes. Outbreak data are observed at public health endpoint and provide picture most important sources human salmonellosis level exposure. To prioritize interventions, it is to keep abreast trends outbreaks. The objective this study was determine main food recent Europe. outbreak from 34 European countries 2015–2019 were obtained Food Safety Authority (EFSA). For source...
