TL;DR: This is the first time Canada has established pathogen-specific estimates of domestically acquired foodborne illness–related hospitalizations and deaths, and illustrates the substantial burden ofFoodborne illness in Canada.

TL;DR: This review illustrates how groundwater study design and location are critical for subsequent data interpretation and use, as knowledge gaps exist related to data on bacterial, viral and protozoan pathogen prevalence in Canadian and US groundwater systems, as well as a need for standardized approaches for reporting studyDesign and results.

TL;DR: Although Giardia and Cryptosporidium were identified in a higher overall percentage of the pooled beef cattle manure samples than in dairy cattle, firmly established zoonotic genotypes and species were much more common in Dairy cattle than in beef cattle in this region.

TL;DR: This research supports the use of QMRA as an effective source attribution tool when there is a lack of randomized controlled trial data to evaluate the public health risk of an exposure source and provides a framework for others to develop burden of waterborne illness estimates for small water supplies.
