Epidemiology has long played a critical role in investigating
outbreaks of foodborne illness and in identifying the microbial
pathogens associated with such illness. Epidemiologists were the
detectives who would track down the guilty culprit- the food
vehicle carrying the pathogen, as well as the fateful errors that
resulted in contamination or multiplication of pathogens. The first
book of its kind, this volume describes the various ways
epidemiologic principles are applied to meet the challenges of
maintaining a safe food supply. It addresses both the prevention
and control of food borne illness. Starting with a history and
background of food borne illness, the book continues by describing
the means of following up on an outbreak and measuring exposures.
The book concludes by describing the regulatory context that shapes
food safety activities at the local, national and international
levels. Chapters are written by leaders in the field of public
health and food safety, including experts in epidemiology,
microbiology, risk assessment, economics, and environmental health
and policy. This is the definitive book for students, researchers
and professionals interested in how epidemiology plays a role in
keeping our food safe.
