  • Emerging foodborne pathogensby Y Motarjemi; M Adams

    Woodhead Publishing Limited 2006; US$ 305.00

    Developments such as the increasing globalisation of the food industry, constant innovations in technologies and products, and changes in the susceptibility of populations to disease, have all highlighted the problem of emerging pathogens.

A pathogen may also be defined as 'emerging' when significant new strains emerge from an existing pathogen, or if the incidence of a pathogen increases. Designed for microbiologists and QA staff in the food industry, and food safety scientists working in governments and academia,... more...
