Objective
Background :
Animal-borne zoonoses constitute a serious public health problem. Of all meatborne
infections, human cases of salmonellosis are considered the most important. Poultry and eggs seem to be the prime source of food-borne salmonellosis, and little information is known about the role of pork. Studies in some countries have shown that about 16% of human salmonellosis may be attributed to pork.
The objective is :
The overall objective is to establish the epidemiological basis, to develop the diagnostic tools and to evaluate options for the control of salmonella in pork at the pre-harvest and harvest levels
Short description of the project :
The following tasks will be carried out:
1) to determine and compare the prevalence and types of salmonella infections in pig herds in different EU regions, and to determine the risk factors for the spread of salmonella infections between and within herds;
2) to determine and compare the prevalence and serotypes of salmonella infections in pork samples from slaughterhouses in different EU regions and to identify critical control points for salmonella contamination;
3) to develop and evaluate improved biotechnological diagnostic tools for quantitative detection; and
4) to evaluate the epidemiologic, diagnostic and economic options for control of salmonella in pork, and to propose methodologies for surveillance and control programmes in the EU, based either on the detection of salmonella organisms or antibodies to salmonella. At the same time, the most promising diagnostic tools will be evaluated in samples from different EU regions and from controlled infection studies.
