Biology of Foodborne Parasites: Food Microbiology
Autor Lihua Xiao Editat de Una Ryan, Yaoyu Fengen Limba Engleză Hardback – 6 apr 2015
While a number of introductory books on basic and molecular biology are available, none highlight the foodborne parasitic pathogens. Until now. A state-of-the-art review, Biology of Foodborne Parasites charts significant progress and outlines key biological techniques applied to foodborne parasitic pathogens research. The book covers basic biology, genetics and genomics, epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, control, and prevention. It showcases recent research that can then be used to spark further breakthroughs.
The book addresses challenging issues in food pathogen detection. It details individual foodborne protists and helminthes, with each chapter following a similar format for a consistent presentation of information. It discusses topics ranging from basic biology, genetics and genomics, molecular detection and typing, and pathogenesis to epidemiology, molecular epidemiology, treatment and prevention, among other current concerns. It also details the methods used to diagnose the infection, characterize the pathogen, and detect parasites in three food commodities: meats, water, and fresh produce.
With chapters written by experts in their respective fields, the book presents a reliable roadmap for future development of improved, innovative biological and molecular methods for analysis of foodborne parasitic pathogens. A handy, comprehensive reference on all aspects of biology of foodborne parasites, it highlights research needs and directions, helping you develop advanced diagnostic tools and new intervention measures.

Notă biografică
Una Ryan received her undergraduate degree in zoology from University College Dublin in Ireland in 1988 and her PhD in parasitology from Murdoch University in Western Australia in 1996. She worked at Murdoch University as a research fellow and became a tenured member of staff in 2001. She is currently professor in biochemistry in the School of Veterinary and Life Sciences at Murdoch University. Her research has focused on the molecular detection and characterization of waterborne and bloodborne parasites, particularly "Cryptosporidium." She has published over 200 original papers and invited reviews and book chapters and is a specialist editor for "Experimental Parasitology." In 2000, she was awarded the Australian Prime Minister s Prize for Achievement in Life Sciences, and in 2014, she received the Bancroft Mackerras Medal from the Australian Society for Parasitology for excellence in research.
Yaoyu Feng received her BSc, MSc, and PhD in microbiology in China and postdoctoral training in water and food safety in the United States and Singapore. She worked at Tianjin University, Tongji University, and National Institute of Parasitic Diseases, Chinese Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. She is currently a professor in microbiology, School of Resources and Environmental Engineering, East China University of Science and Technology. Since 2000, she has been working on water and food microbial safety, focusing on molecular biology, epidemiology, diagnosis, taxonomy, environmental biology, and pathogenesis of "Cryptosporidium," "Giardia," microsporidia, and other protozoan parasites of humans and animals. She has published nearly a hundred papers in international journals and is an editorial member of three international journals. She received the Distinguished Young Scholars award from the National Natural Science Foundation of China in 2014."
