Описание: This book reviews sporadic Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) infections and identifies foods that facilitate their spread, including meat, vegetables and fruits. The analysis covers 957 STEC outbreaks from 27 different countries. Overall, outbreak data identified that 16 percent of outbreaks were attributed to beef, 15 percent to produce and 6 percent to dairy products. In 57 percent of all outbreaks, the food sources could not be identified.

STEC infections are a substantial public health issue worldwide, causing more than 1 million illnesses, 128 deaths and nearly 13 000 Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) annually. To appropriately target preventative interventions, it is important to determine the specific types of foods leading to these illnesses.

Overall, the meta-analysis identified the beef and ""meat-unspecified"" categories as significant risk factors for STEC infection, with significant variation depending on geographic region. Prioritizing interventions to control beef supply chains may provide the largest return on investment when implementing strategies for STEC control.

Описание: Mass starvation's causes may seem simple and immediate: crop failure, poverty, outbreaks of violence, and poor governance. But famines are complex, and scholars cannot fully understand what causes them unless they look at their numerous social and environmental precursors over long arcs of history, and over long distances.Famine in the Remaking examines the relationship between the reorganisation of food systems and large-scale food crises through a comparative historical analysis of three famines: Hawaii in the 1820s, Madagascar in the 1920s, and Cambodia in the 1970s. This examination identifies the structural transformations - that is, changes to the relationships between producers and consumers - that make food systems more vulnerable to failure. Moving beyond the economic and political explanations for food crisis that have dominated the literature, Stian Rice emphasises important socioecological interactions, developing a framework for crisis evolution that identifies two distinct temporal phases and five different types of causal mechanisms involved in food systems failure. His framework contributes to current work in famine prevention and, animated by a commitment to social justice, offers the potential for early intervention in emerging food crises.
