Beginning with their sources, including manure and animal feed, and
detailing their development, spread and transmission to humans,
Zoonotic Pathogens in the Food Chain gives an insightful
introduction to and epidemiological overview of the problems raised
by zoonotic pathogens. The authors specifically examine the
attributes of microorganisms that allow potential contamination of
food sources and the factors in modern animal production processes
that contribute to the risk of infection. Chapters discuss in
detail pathogens that have recently emerged as important sources of
infection, investigating in depth the implications of avian flu,
swine flu, bovine spongiform encephalopathies and Johne's disease
for human consumers, and considering where potential mitigation
strategies should be focused. With a focus on new trends in animal
production, such as organic livestock farming and raw milk
consumption, this text provides an interesting and up-to-date
reference for researchers, academics and those with an interest in
pathology working in the livestock industry.
