Here, we focus on food- and water-borne infections. We are committed to providing the highest quality of custom services and products with the shortest time.
The consumption of food and water that are contaminated with certain infectious agents such as bacteria, viruses, or parasites can bring about sickness or illness in human beings or other animals. Other agents like mycotoxins (fungal toxins), marine biotoxins also can cause the corresponding toxic symptoms when they infiltrate into the food or water ingested by human being or animals. People sometimes refer to these foodborne illnesses as food poisoning, particularly those involving gastroenteritis. Although the hygiene standards have become more and more strict in recent decades, the incidence of foodborne infectious or illness remains difficult to estimate and the burden of these conditions all over the world is thought to be high.
Common Food- and Water-Borne Infectious
A variety of conditions are caused by the food- and water-borne infectious which range from gastroenteritis to reproductive or development diseases and neurodegenerative disorders such as bovine spongiform encephalopathy (also named mad cow disease). And there are a number of different types of pathogens accompanied with high morbidity. Several strains of Escherichia coli, O157:H7 for instance, which resides in the intestines of cattle and is usually ingested in undercooked ground beef or transmitted via unpasteurized milk, fruit juice, contaminated water, or uncooked produce, have serious health effects like severe abdominal cramps as well as bloody diarrhea when ingested by human. Salmonella bacteria are spread to humans through the consumption of foods of animal origin such as eggs, meat, or milk which cause a panel of symptoms including fever, headache, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Listeria monocytogenes is another common pathogen causing sickness which most often transmitted through soft cheeses, milk, and ice cream, raw vegetables, raw meat and poultry. In addition, there are many other conditions such as campylobacteriosis, cyclosporiasis, hepatitis A caused by food- and water-borne infectious.
Prevention of Food- and Water-Borne Infectious
As what we had seen in cases of the past decades, prevention is the most effective measure to combat with food- and water-borne infectious and to avoid further hurt to human beings. Laws should be implied to regulate the production, transport, and preparation of food intending to prevent foodborne infectious and limit its consequences. Control the hygiene standards of food and water strictly to avoid the using or consumption of unclean water and contaminated food. Furthermore, cooking at a sufficient temperature could kill the major microbes and parasites.
