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.

  1. Outbreaks of Acute Necrotic Enteritis and Haemolytic Crisis and Renal Disease Associated with Clostridium perfringens in Captive Toucans (Ramphastos spp)

    • Journal of Comparative Pathology

    • Four toco toucans (Ramphastos toco), one channel-billed toucan (Ramphastos vitellinus) and one white-throated toucan (Ramphastos tucanus) died in two disease outbreaks in the same aviary in 2011 and 2016.

  2. Pathology of Salmonella enterica Subspecies enterica Serotype Typhimurium Infection in Chinchillas (Chinchilla lanigera)

    • Journal of Comparative Pathology

    • Septicaemia is the main pathological manifestation of Salmonella infection in chinchillas (Chinchilla lanigera), although information on its pathology is limited.

  3. Listeria Monocytogenes Persistence in Bovine Neutrophils

    • Journal of Comparative Pathology

    • Listeria monocytogenes (LM) is a bacterial pathogen known to cause rhombencephalitis in ruminants. Neutrophils accumulate intracerebrally as microabscesses, where bacterial phagocytosis occurs. In-situ investigations in ruminant brains indicate that LM can persist in neutrophils, but LM interaction with neutrophils is poorly studied.

      Introduction: Clostridium perfringens is the cause of necrotic enteritis (NE) in chickens. A similar disease has occasionally been reported in psittacines. We diagnosed several outbreaks of NE in lorikeets (Trichoglossus haematodus).
