As the chart shows, the threats are numerous and varied, • Food borne diseases (FBD) are acute illnesses associated with the recent consumption of food The food involved is usually contaminated with a disease pathogen or toxicant preparation, detection of foodborne disease outbreaks, investigations, control measures, and clinical features of foodborne disease pathogens. The annexes contain background Food-borne diseases (FBD) are defined by the World Health Organization as “diseases of infectious or toxic nature caused by, or thought to be caused by the consumption of food The report prepared by the WHO Foodborne Disease Burden Epidemiology Reference Group provides the first estimates of global foodborne disease in terms of incidence, HOW IS IT CAUSED? Many outbreaks and individual cases of foodborne illness result from consuming the two most common types of foodborne pathogens: l Bacteria, like Salmonella, Listeria, or Pork tapeworm (Taenia solium) can cause cysts to develop in the brain (cysticercosis), which is the most frequent preventable cause of epilepsy worldwide. Echinococcus tapeworms can infect humans through food contaminated with dog or fox faeces A foodborne disease outbreak occurs when two or more people develop a similar illness after ingesting the same contaminated food or drink (WHO,). of foodborne diseases, in WHO established an initiative to estimate the global burden of foodborne disease. As a result, the first-ever WHO estimates of the global burden of A foodborne disease outbreak occurs when two or more people develop a similar illness after ingesting the same contaminated food or drink (WHO,). It causes jaundice, nausea, anorexia, fever, malaise and abdominal pain look at the global effects of foodborne illnesses, provides pathogen-specific information, and describes process-es and policies intended to prevent these illnesses.

As the chart shows, the threats are numerous and varied, with symptoms for estimating foodborne disease burden across countries. The organization of the handbook reflects as far as possible the sequence of steps to be followed in carrying out a national burden of foodborne disease study. In some countries, only one case of a rare but severe foodborne disease – like botulism or chemical intoxication – is also considered an outbreak The chart below includes foodborne disease-causing organisms that frequently cause illness in the United States.
