The globalization and commercialization of the food system has
unintentionally led to the introduction of new foodborne parasites
in countries worldwide. Fortunately, advances in detection and
control are providing the basis for a better understanding of the
biology and control of parasitic infections, and this in turn will
likely contribute to the reduction and hopefully elimination of
parasitic foodborne outbreaks. Building on the first edition, this
completely revised second edition of Foodborne Parasites covers the
parasites most associated with foodborne transmission and therefore
of greatest global public health relevance. The volume examines
protozoa and their subgroups: the amoeba, coccidia, flagellates and
ciliates. Chapters also address Trypanosoma cruzi, recently
recognized as an emerging foodborne protozoan. The helminth section
is expanded to cover teniasis, cysticercosis, hydatidosis, and the
trematodes and nematodes including Angiostrongylus, which is
present worldwide. Finally, the editors examine the burden and risk
assessment determinations that have provided a scientific framework
for developing policies for the control of foodborne parasites.
