Microbiological hazards associated with the use of water in the post‐harvest handling and processing operations of fresh and frozen fruits, vegetables and herbs (ffFVHs). Part 1 (outbreak data analysis, literature review and stakeholder questionnaire)

EFSA Journal, Volume 21, Issue 11, November 2023., 2023
Abstract The contamination of water used in post‐harvest handling and processing operations of fresh and frozen fruit, vegetables and herbs (ffFVHs) is a global concern. The most relevant microbial hazards associated with this water are: Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella spp., human pathogenic Escherichia coli and enteric viruses, which have been ...

Evidence for cross transmission of pathogens between wild hooded cranes and domestic geese

Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2023, Issue 9-10, September/October 2023., 2023
Driven by habitat loss from anthropogenic activities, wintering migratory birds forage together with poultry in paddy fields, and thus impose risks of cross transmitting pathogens. To date, there is little evidence for such risks of pathogen transmission between wild birds and poultry.

Risk factors associated with self‐reported Q fever in Australian wildlife rehabilitators: Findings from an online survey

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 70, Issue 1, Page 69-80, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Australian wildlife rehabilitators (AWR) are at increased risk of developing Q fever, a serious zoonotic disease caused by the intracellular bacterium Coxiella burnetii. Previous studies have suggested that Australian wildlife may be a potential C. burnetii infection source for humans.
