Resulting from ingestion of inappropriately prepared or stored
foods containing pathogenic viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites,
foodborne infections have become a significant source of human
morbidity and mortality worldwide in recent decades. This may be
largely attributable to the remarkable popularity of convenient,
ready-to-eat food products, the dramatic expansion of international
food trades, and the continuing growth of immuno-suppressed
population groups. Although anti-microbial treatments have played a
crucial part in the control of foodborne infections in the past,
the emergence and spread of anti-microbial resistance render the
existing treatments ineffective. Additionally, our limited
understanding of the molecular mechanisms of foodborne infections
has thwarted our efforts in the development of efficacious vaccines
for foodborne pathogens. Given the obvious benefits of laboratory
models in foodborne disease research, a great number of experiments
have been conducted toward the elucidation of host-pathogen
interactions in and pathogenic mechanisms of foodborne infections.
Forming part of the Food Microbiology series, Laboratory Models for
Foodborne Infections presents a state-of-the-art review of
laboratory models that have proven valuable in deciphering the life
cycle, epidemiology, immunobiology, and other key aspects of
foodborne pathogens. Written by scientists with respective
expertise in foodborne pathogen research, each chapter includes a
contemporary summary of a particular foodborne viral, bacterial,
fungal, or parasitic infection in relation to its life cycle,
epidemiology, clinical features, pathogenesis, host-pathogen
interactions, and other related aspects. Besides providing a
trustworthy source of information for undergraduates and
postgraduates in food microbiology, Laboratory Models for Foodborne
Infections offers an invaluable guide for scientists and food
microbiologists with interest in exploiting laboratory models for
detailed study of foodborne infections.
