Food-borne disease is a major public health issue in Vietnam. The contamination of popular foods can occur all along the food value chain. It is important to understand how and where food safety issues arise to mitigate and prevent food-borne diseases. Risk-based approach is a tool for managing f...

Streptococcus suis is a leading cause of bacterial meningitis in
Vietnamese adults, and the major risk factors have been identified
as consumption of raw pig blood (Tiet canh), and occupational
exposure to pigs. Previous studies of S. suis prevalence in
pigs sampled from southern Vietnam have ind...

Food borne diseases (FBD) are an increasing global public health concern with
estimated 1 in 10 people falling ill every year from eating contaminated food causing
420,000 deaths. Diarrheal diseases accounted for more than half of the global
burden with children at especial risk (WHO 2015). Evide...
