E. COLI 0157:H7 IN BIOAEROSOLS FROM CATTLE PRODUCTION AREAS: EVALUATION OF PROXIMITY & AIRBORNE TRANSPORT ON LEAFY GREEN CROP CONTAMINATION

Objective

The objectives are to: (1) Determine if E. coli O157:H7 can be transferred by dust or wind from cattle production environments to leafy green produce crops, (2) Determine the impacts of environmental conditions and proximity on the transmission of E. coli O157:H7 by dust or wind from cattle production environments to leafy green produce crops, and (3) Determine the impacts of environmental conditions and proximity on the density of flies and E. coli O157:H7-positive flies in a leafy green produce crop.
