Research Publications (Food Safety)

This page tracks research articles published in national and international peer-reviewed journals. Recent articles are available ahead of print and searchable by Journal, Article Title, and Category. Research publications are tracked across six categories: Bacterial Pathogens, Chemical Contaminants, Natural Toxins, Parasites, Produce Safety, and Viruses. Articles produced by USDA Grant Funding Agencies (requires login) and FDA Grant Funding Agencies (requires login) are also tracked in Scopus.

  2. Ochratoxin A-Induced Apoptosis of IPEC-J2 Cells through ROS-Mediated Mitochondrial Permeability Transition Pore Opening Pathway

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • With the purpose to explore the mechanisms associated with the intestinal toxicity of Ochratoxin A (OTA), an intestinal porcine epithelial cell line (IPEC-J2) was applied in this study as in vitro models for intestinal epithelium. The results confirmed that OTA induced IPEC-J2 cell toxicity by MTT assay and apoptosis by Hoechst 33258 staining and flow cytometer analysis.

    • Journal of Applied Microbiology

    • Abstract

      Aims

      Enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) serotype O157:H7 as a major human pathogen is responsible for food borne outbreaks, bloody diarrhea, hemorrhagic colitis and hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) and even death. In this study, the antibacterial activity of the Zataria multiflora essential oil (ZMEO) and nanoliposome-encapsulated ZMEO was evaluated on the pathogenicity of Escherichia coli O157:H7.

  11. The Role of Interferon in Persistent Viral Infection: Insights from Murine Norovirus

    • Trends in Microbiology

    • Persistent viral infections result from evasion or avoidance of sterilizing immunity, extend the timeframe of virus transmission, and can trigger disease. Prior studies in mouse models of persistent infection have suggested that ineffective adaptive immune responses are necessary for persistent viral infection.

  14. Cholera Epidemics of the Past Offer New Insights Into an Old Enemy

    • The Journal of Infectious Diseases

    • AbstractBackgroundAlthough cholera is considered the quintessential long-cycle waterborne disease, studies have emphasized the existence of short-cycle (food, household) transmission. We investigated singular Danish cholera epidemics (in 1853) to elucidate epidemiological parameters and modes of spread.MethodsUsing time series data from cities with different water systems, we estimated the intrinsic transmissibility (R0).
