TL;DR: In this paper, foodborne disease (FBD) in low and middle income countries (LMICs) is still limited, but important studies in recent years have broadened our understanding, suggesting that developing country consumers are concerned about FBD; that most of the known burden of FBD disease comes from biological hazards; and, most FBD is the result of consumption of fresh, perishable foods sold in informal markets.

TL;DR: It is argued that one of the key issues of food safety in Vietnam is that certain food value chain stakeholders lack ethics, which leads to the production and trading of unsafe foods in order to make profits irrespective of adverse health effects on consumers.

TL;DR: The results have been used to identify entry-points for intervention and management strategies to reduce disease exposure in humans and pigs, informing control activities in a cysticercosis hyper-endemic village.

TL;DR: Three major sociocultural aspects with potential for community-driven interventions to optimize current rabies elimination efforts are identified: integrating local notions of ahimsa (non-violence) into education campaigns, engaging communities through the local banjar sociopolitical system, and working with traditional legal structures to increase local compliance with rabies control.

TL;DR: The risk of salmonellosis in humans due to boiled pork consumption appears to be high and control measures may include improving the safety of retailed pork and improving household hygiene.
