Incidence of Foodborne Disease in the US
1. Alfred Hitchcock, the price of gas, and the incidence of foodborne disease in the United States Jeffrey LeJeune, Food Animal Health Research Program OARDC
Foods of bovine origin, primarily hamburger are the most common source of infection in identified outbreaks Other foods such as milk and salami have also been implicated in outbreaks Foods presumably cross-contaminated with beef such salads Apple cider has been a source of many outbreaks; the exact method of contamination remains unknown, possibly the use of contaminated apples Drinking and recreational water supply are important sources of infection in humans, the largest US outbreak in Cabool, Missouri was attributed to contaminated water. Person to person contact can transmit disease-a mode of transmission which is more common in child care facilities Due to the high association of human disease and beef consumption, cattle are considered central in the epidemiology of human disease. So the questions arises how does beef become contaminated and what can we do to control the incidence of human disease?
This animation (that starts by a single mouse click) shows an approximate route for Bird 20 from the Lime Lakes Roost site to it’s main activity area near Dave Steiner’s dairy, its capture site. Note that on the morning flight into the main activity area that it only takes 20 minutes from roost to dairy. This was on October 4 th , 2007.
Bird 20 on October 4 th . These were its locations (N = 36) between 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM (daily main activity period) in 15-minute intervals.
Bird 20 on October 4 th , 2007 on its return to the Lime Lakes Roost. Note that the return to roost is much more leisurely than the morning flight to its daily activity site. This is an animated slide that starts upon a mouse click.
