The findings from risk analysis of pork supply chains in peri-urban Hanoi suggest important implications for food safety policy in Vietnam. Pork is a dominant source of animal-protein intake in the Vietnamese diet. Demand for pork is growing along with economic growth and thus provides opportunit...

This paper describes a trans-disciplinary process of co-generating and disseminating evidence-based messages for reducing the risk from cryptosporidiosis and other zoonoses in an urban community in Nairobi. Research findings about disease prevalence, risk factors and observed risky and risk-mitig...

In developing countries, food-borne diseases are one of the most important public health problems and animal-source foods cause a large proportion of such diseases. In sub-Saharan Africa where many people live in poverty, the level of food hygiene is very low. This is not only because living envi...

The objectives of the study were twofold: to prove that participatory risk assessment can be applied to informally-marketed foods, and to assess the risk of staphylococcal poisoning through consumption of raw milk and home-made yoghurt in Debre Zeit, Ethiopia. Rapid urban appraisals were combined...

Since 1986, the numbers of pigs in Uganda have at least quadrupled and today’s more than two million pigs are in the hands of 1.1 million households. Up to 70% of all pork is estimated to be consumed in urban and peri-urban areas, mainly through informal road-side butcheries and ‘pork joints’. In...
