Including operational data in QMRA model: development and impact of model inputs [PDF]
Journal of Water and Health, 2008 A Monte Carlo model, based on the Quantitative Microbial Risk Analysis approach (QMRA), has been developed to assess the relative risks of infection associated with the presence of Cryptosporidium and Giardia in drinking water. The impact of various approaches for modelling the initial parameters of the model on the final risk assessments is evaluated.

Direct and indirect QMRA of infectious Cryptosporidium oocysts in reclaimed water [PDF]
Journal of Water and Health, 2012 Water scarcity leads to an increased use of reclaimed water, which in turn calls for an improvement in water reclamation procedures to ensure adequate quality of the final effluent. The presence of infectious Cryptosporidium oocysts (IOO) in reclaimed water is a health hazard for users of this resource. Here, we gathered information on Cryptosporidium (

Evaluation of QMRA performance forListeria monocytogenesin cold smoked salmon [PDF]
WIT Transactions on Biomedicine and Health, 2011 Food-borne listeriosis, caused by Listeria monocytogenes (Lm), is relatively rare but the relatively high rate of fatality (20–30%) compared to other food-borne microbial pathogens such as Salmonella makes it a serious disease. The foodstuff is recognised as the primary route of transmission for human exposure.

Modelling of inactivation through heating for quantitative microbiological risk assessment (QMRA) [PDF]
EFSA Journal, 2018 EFSA regards the household as a stage in the food chain that is important for the final number of food-borne infections. The fate of a pathogen in the private kitchen largely depends on consumer hygiene during preparation of food and on its proper cooking, especially in the case of meat.
