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.

  11. B cell activating factor (BAFF) from neutrophils and dendritic cells is required for protective B cell responses against Salmonella typhimurium infection

    • PLOS ONE

    • by Runa Kuley, Kevin E. Draves, Deborah H. Fuller, Natalia V. Giltiay, Edward A. Clark, Daniela Giordano Mice lacking B cells are more susceptible to S. typhimurium infection. How B cells contribute to protective immunity against Salmonella and what signals drive their activation are still unclear. Neutrophils (Nphs), monocytes (MOs), and dendritic cells (DCs) are involved in early immune responses to control the initial replication of S.

  20. Bacteriological quality of drinking water from source and point of use and associated factors among households in Eastern Ethiopia

    • PLOS ONE

    • by Yohanis Alemeshet Asefa, Bezatu Mengistie Alemu, Negga Baraki, Dinku Mekbib, Dechasa Adare Mengistu

      Background

      Biological deterioration of drinking water is the major cause of waterborne disease globally. However, there is a paucity of information on identifying the point where deterioration of the bacteriological quality of drinking water occurs (source or point of use) and associated factors among households in developing countries, especially in Ethiopia.
