Summary

Emerging food-borne zoonotic pathogens like Salmonella and E. coli cause significant illness globally. Science-based risk assessments and mitigation strategies are crucial for reducing these preventable food-borne diseases from farm to fork.

Area of Science:

  • Microbiology
  • Food Safety
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Diarrhoeal diseases, primarily from food- and waterborne pathogens, cause millions of deaths annually, especially in developing nations.
  • Zoonotic pathogens are responsible for a substantial burden of foodborne illnesses, with increasing incidence linked to changes in food production.
  • Five key emerging foodborne zoonotic pathogens are highlighted: Salmonella spp., Campylobacter spp., enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli, Toxoplasma gondii, and Cryptosporidium parvum.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the current situation of major emerging foodborne zoonotic pathogens.
  • To apply the FAO/WHO microbiological risk assessment framework (hazard identification, characterization, exposure assessment, risk characterization) to these pathogens.
  • To outline risk mitigation and management strategies based on international risk assessments.

Main Methods:

  • Review and description of five significant emerging foodborne zoonotic pathogens.
  • Application of the FAO/WHO risk assessment framework to each pathogen.
  • Summary of existing risk mitigation efforts and management suggestions.

Main Results:

  • Identification and characterization of Salmonella spp., Campylobacter spp., enterohaemorrhagic E. coli, T. gondii, and C. parvum as major foodborne zoonotic threats.
  • Detailed assessment of risks associated with these pathogens using the FAO/WHO framework.
  • Evidence-based recommendations for risk management and mitigation across the food chain.

Conclusions:

  • Effective risk mitigation requires science-based programs throughout the 'farm-to-fork' continuum.
  • Sustainable reduction of preventable foodborne diseases relies on integrated risk management strategies.
  • International collaboration and risk assessment are vital for global food safety and public health protection.
