Can stochastic consumer phase models in QMRA be simplified to a single factor? [PDF]

Microbial Risk Analysis, 2018
Abstract In quantitative microbiological risk assessment (QMRA), the consumer phase covers the part of the food chain following production and retail, where the consumer transports, stores, prepares and consumes the food products considered. These consumer practices have a crucial impact on exposure, and a consumer phase model (CPM) needs to be ...

Development and Application of a Novel Dose–Response Model for the Quantification of Clostridioides difficile Infection Risks

Risk Analysis, Volume 46, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The lack of a dose–response model for Clostridioides difficile, attributed to insufficient human data, challenges effective C. difficile infection (CDI) risk management. This study presents a novel murine‐derived dose–response model for C.

Legionella Occurrence in Buildings: Implications of Public Water System Disinfectant and Residual

AWWA Water Science, Volume 8, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Legionella pneumophila is an opportunistic drinking water microorganism of serious health concern. Anticipated revisions to U.S. EPA's Microbial and Disinfection Byproduct Rules may propose a numeric minimum disinfectant residual—rather than the current “detectable”—in part to better control Legionella in drinking water distribution systems ...

Quantitative Microbial Risk Assessment (QMRA) of Workers Exposure to Bioaerosols at MSW Open Dumpsites

Risk Analysis, 2020
AbstractThe bioaerosol exposure data from the study by Akpeimeh, Fletcher, and Evans (2019) was used to compute the risk of infection from the exposure of dumpsite workers to Aspergillus fumigatus and Escherichia coli O157:H7. A stochastic (Markov Chain) model was used to model the transport of the inhaled dose though the human respiratory system and ...

Review of Quantitative Microbial Risk Assessment in Poultry Meat: The Central Position of Consumer Behavior

Foods, 2020
Food of animal origin, especially meat products, represent the main vehicle of foodborne pathogens and so are implicated in foodborne outbreaks. Poultry meat is a widely consumed food in various forms, but it is also a reservoir of thermotolerant ...

A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis on Campylobacter Species Prevalence in Chicken in Italy

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 3, May 2026.
• This systematic review summarizes the prevalence of Campylobacter spp. in different chicken matrices in Italy over the last 20 years, which may be useful for conducting quantitative microbial risk assessment in the future. • Higher Campylobacter spp.

Scientific Opinion on a Quantitative Microbiological Risk Assessment of Salmonella in slaughter and breeder pigs

EFSA Journal, 2010
This Quantitative Microbiological Risk Assessment (QMRA) represents a major step forward in terms of modelling Salmonella in pigs from farm to consumption as it takes into account the variability between and within EU Member States (MSs).

The Dairy Ruminant Gut Microbiome: Profile, Responsiveness to Seasonality and Impact on Milk Quality

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 5, May 2026.
The dairy ruminant gut microbiome that is shaped by host and diet is affected by seasonality and rearing. These factors can impact dairy productivity and milk quality potentially through the gut microbiota. ABSTRACT The gut microbiome (GM) and particularly the rumen microbiome (RM) affect the ruminant health and they are associated with milk quality ...

A Scoping Review of Thermal and Nonthermal Technologies for Listeria monocytogenes Inactivation in Ready‐to‐Eat Meats

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Listeria monocytogenes continues to present a significant food safety challenge in ready‐to‐eat (RTE) products, despite existing regulatory standards and antimicrobial intervention strategies. To manage the risk of L. monocytogenes in RTE meats, food producers and researchers have explored a range of intervention strategies, broadly ...
