"This book provides a timely update on the recent progress in our knowledge of all aspects of plant's perception, signalling and adaptation to a variety of environmental stresses such as drought, salinity, heat, cold, frost and soil pH extremes, Al and heavy metal toxicities, de…
New research, outbreaks of foodborne disease and changes to legislation mean that food microbiology research is constantly evolving. Advances in microbial food safety: Volume 1 summarises the key trends in this area for the food industry. The book begins with an introductory cha…
This book reviews the current state of knowledge of the most notable global invasive freshwater species or groups, based on their severity of economic impact, geographic distribution outside of their native range, extent of research, and recognition of the ecological severity of…
This book (composed of 13 chapters) presents the injurious and beneficial insects (e.g. pollinators) of tropical fruit crops and how they might be controlled to enhance fruit production and quality. Information on the life history, behaviour, economic importance, and control of …

Describes molecular techniques for the detection and discrimination of major infectious bacteria associated with foods. This work places particular focus on genes associated with pathogenicity used in the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Each chapter deals with a specific organi…
A parvovirose canina é uma doença infecciosa que afeta os canídeos domésticos. Está associada a um quadro de doença gastrointestinal com vómitos e diarreia sanguinolenta. Em neonatos pode provocar doença cardíaca com morte aparentemente súbita. Nos casos mais graves, a quebra da…
Non-native plant pests and pathogens threaten biodiversity, ecosystem function, food security, and economic livelihoods. Preventing, minimizing, and mitigating damage from invasive non-native plant pests involve dynamic, multiscale strategies that are agile enough to respond to …
Turkeys have to overcome several challenges early in life, including exposure to pathogens and difficulty with the transition from yolk as a nutrient source to CHO dietary sources. Probiotics are thought to help alleviate these symptoms in the post-hatch poult, but any beneficia…
Modern political, social and economic forces are creating new contexts for human-nonhuman primate interaction, creating the possibility of cross-species pathogen transmission. This “hybrid” dissertation examines three facets of cross-species pathogen transmission on the Indonesi…
The research in this manuscript highlights new and improved methods to concentrate pathogens from a complex food matrix and detect them via PCR. These contributions to the science of rapid pathogen detection are unique in that they are designed to measure the efficacy of the con…
Objective of this study was to evaluate effect of UV-C radiation (0, 1.16 and 3.21 kJ/cm2), pomegranate (Punica granatum) seed essential oil (PGEO) and lemon (Citrus lemonum) plant essential oil (CLEO) on decontamination of Candida albicans, Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcu…
Surface water contamination has been a global concern for years, especially in the developing world where high-quality centralized water treatment systems are often lacking. An alternative point-of-use household water treatment technology widely adopted in many developing countr…
