{"product_id":"foodborne-disease-outbreaks-world-health-organization-9789241547222","title":"Foodborne Disease Outbreaks: Guidelines for Investigation and Control","description":"The investigation and control of foodborne disease outbreaks are multi-disciplinary tasks requiring skills in the areas of clinical medicine, epidemiology, laboratory medicine, food microbiology and chemistry, food safety and food control, and risk communication and management. Many outbreaks of foodborne disease are poorly investigated, if at all, because these skills are unavailable or because a field investigator is expected to master them all single-handedly without having been trained.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese guidelines have been written for public health practitioners, food and health inspectors, district and national medical officers, laboratory personnel and others who may undertake or participate in the investigation and control of foodborne disease outbreaks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile the book focuses on practical aspects of outbreak investigation and control, it also provides generic guidance that can be adapted to individual countries and local requirements. At the field level it will be valuable in initial epidemiological, environmental and laboratory investigations, in implementation of appropriate control measures, and in alerting investigators to the need to seek assistance for more complex situations. At national and regional levels, the guidelines will assist decision-makers in identifying and coordinating resources and in creating an environment appropriate for the successful management of foodborne disease outbreaks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e World Health Organization\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9241547227\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789241547222\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e World Health Organization\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/28\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.50h x 8.20w x 0.40d","brand":"World Health Organization","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48450172682495,"sku":"9789241547222","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9f6accfc-c636-4fde-806b-18c5482eec2a.jpg?v=1777266518","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/foodborne-disease-outbreaks-world-health-organization-9789241547222","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
