Barriers against a bacterial transfer

摘要

Presenting our next report from the 2008 congress of the International Pig Veterinary Society, held recently in South Africa by Peter Best. Salmonella remains in the foreground of official thinking on veterinary health because of its known associations to food-related illness in humans. Among the signs of its continued importance this year has been the publication of a European survey into incidence in animals and humans, as well as the occurrence of 'food poisoning' outbreaks such as one in Denmarkthat was suggested to have links to the importation of contaminated meat.
