Format: HTML PDF
Fish and shrimp samples obtained from different retail fish markets in Cochin, India, were screened by direct polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays targeting three important virulence markers of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O157:H7, the intimin protein, enterohemolysin, and Shiga toxin. This is the first report of recovery of typical E. coli O157:H7 from fish or shellfish in India..

URL: http://www.medvetnet.org/pdf/Reports/Report_06-002.pdf
Format: HTML PDF
This report provides an overview of the major food production types in Europe for which pre-harvest risk assessment have been, or are needed to be, made. A single model pathway has been described for broiler production, table-egg production, turkey production, ducks and geese production, pig production, dairy cattle production, beef cattle production, sheep production, and fish production. In addition to the selected model pathway, this report also provides Data Requirements and Conclusions and Recommendations for each production line.
