Climate change, plant diseases and food security: an overview
TL;DR: An overview of key constraints to food security uses fusarium head blight as a case study to illustrate key influences of climate change on production and quality of wheat, and outlines key links between plant diseases, climate change and food security.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonthermal Plasma Inactivation of Food-Borne Pathogens
TL;DR: A review of the action of plasma agents on the microbial classes and describes proven and potential applications in food processing is presented in this article, where novel developments in the technology and a future outlook for the application to foods are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enteric protozoa in the developed world: a public health perspective.
TL;DR: This review discusses the common enteric protozoa from a public health perspective, highlighting their epidemiology, modes of transmission, prevention, and control, and suggests a multidisciplinary approach to their prevention and control.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sources and contamination routes of microbial pathogens to fresh produce during field cultivation: A review.
TL;DR: Overall, microbiological hazards are significant; therefore, ways to reduce sources of contamination and a deeper understanding of pathogen survival and growth on fresh produce in the field are required to reduce risk to human health and the associated economic consequences.

Jenny Schelin,Nina Wallin-Carlquist,Marianne Thorup Cohn,Roland Lindqvist,Gary C. Barker,Peter Rådström +5 more
TL;DR: In order to improve the production of high-quality, microbiologically safe food for human consumption, in situ data on enterotoxin formation in food environments are required to complement existing knowledge on the growth and survivability of S. aureus.
