ISBN:
Category : Salmonella
Languages : en
Pages : 60
Book Description
Despite generally good sanitation practices throughout Canada during most of the twentieth century, outbreaks of gastroenteritis due to non-typhoid serovars of Salmonella sp. involved 6781 to 11,181 persons each year between 1978 and 1985. Many outbreaks arise from unsanitary food-handling whilst single cases or small clusters of patients may contract salmonellosis through direct or indirect exposure to infected farm animals or domestic pets. Prevalence of particular Salmonella serovars has changed through succeeding years, except for that of Salmonella typhimurium which has remained high every year. The objective of this document is to assemble a quantitative data base relating the number of human cases of salmonellosis per annum of approximately 40 common Salmonella serovars, to the category of location of exposure to the infected environmental source. Costs of health care for infected humans, plus relevant microbiological laboratory investigations for patients and environmental sources of infection, are presented whenever appropriate.

Reducing Environmental Cancer Risk

Book Description
Though overall cancer incidence and mortality have continued to decline in recent years, cancer continues to devastate the lives of far too many Americans. In 2009 alone, 1.5 million American men, women, and children were diagnosed with cancer, and 562,000 died from the disease. There is a growing body of evidence linking environmental exposures to cancer. The Pres. Cancer Panel dedicated its 2008¿2009 activities to examining the impact of environmental factors on cancer risk. The Panel considered industrial, occupational, and agricultural exposures as well as exposures related to medical practice, military activities, modern lifestyles, and natural sources. This report presents the Panel¿s recommend. to mitigate or eliminate these barriers. Illus.
