URL: http://www.eurosurveillance.org/ViewArticle.aspx?ArticleId=19195
Format: HTML PDF
This paper discusses the importance of estimating the global burden of foodborne diseases and describes the efforts of the Foodborne Disease Burden Epidemiology Reference Group (FERG). FERG is an initiative of The World Health Organization (WHO) to estimate the global burden of foodborne diseases and aims to fill the current data gap and respond to the increasing global interest in health information. Collaborative efforts are required to achieve the ambitious task of assessing the foodborne disease burden from all causes worldwide..

8099 Public Health Agency of Canada C-EnterNet Annual Report 2005-2006: National Integrated Enteric Pathogen Surveillance Program
URL: http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/publicat/2007/c-enternet05-06/areport05-06-eng.php
Format: HTML PDF
C-EnterNet is designed to cover 5 or 6 sentinel sites across Canada with continuous and episodic surveillance activities for each of four components: humans, food, water, and food animals. Most of the planned surveillance activities have been implemented in the Region of Waterloo, Ontario over the course of 2005. More specifically, C-EnterNet was able to generate site-specific incidences for reportable human enteric diseases and risk factor data for endemic cases. In addition, C-EnterNet began to collect pathogen data from most of the a priori important sources of exposure within the site’s geographical area, including untreated surface water, stored and fresh manure from dairy and swine farms, and retail raw meat. This inaugural report provides results of the first 12 months of operation, from mid-2005 to mid-2006.

Format: MS PowerPoint
This presentation was given at the 1st International Conference on Microbiological Risk Assessment: Foodborne Hazards, held in Adelphi, MD on July 24-26, 2002. It examines what laboratory models are contributing to the assessment of waterborne exposure to Cryptosporidium oocysts, whether the data from various studies are comparable, and how risk assessment modelers can use this data in a meaningful way. Finally, the results of a study of three C. parvum genotype 2 isolates that were compared using three different model systems are presented. This data includes dose response curves for antibody-negative volunteers and for neonatal mice. The pdf version of this presentation can be accessed here.
