In Vietnam, there are more than 4 million households producing pigs and pork. This
accounts for 57% of quantity of meat consumed. One of the most critical constraints
to pig production is the presence of animal disease. Pig disease outbreaks are a regular
occurrence in various parts of the countr...

Using a system dynamics framework to assess disease risks of pig value chains in Vietnam
Pork represents more than 70% of meat consumption in Vietnam and
production delivers significant benefits to smallholders who supply 80%
of the market. Lack of technologies and poor hygienic/biosecurity
measures are common challenges resulting in increased disease risk
(including food borne) alon...

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...

Every year, 2 billions of diarrhea cases occur for all age groups (WHO, 2010) and currently 700,000 children under five die from this illness (Walker et al., 2013). Animal-source foods provide nutrition but are a major cause of such food-borne diseases (FBDs). FBDs include other, non-diarrheal se...
Background: Food-borne diseases are contributing to health burdens globally, especially in developing countries. In India, milk production is important for nutrition security, but milk products are prone to contamination with pathogens. In Assam, a state in Northeast India, a novel hygiene interv...

Milk marketing in Assam, NE India remains predominantly in the informal sector; there is also growing concern among consumers about the purity and quality of milk marketed by informal milk vendors and the possible health risk posed by it. ILRI’s study on milk safety (ILRI 2008) indicates that mos...

Evidence on foodborne disease (FBD) in developing countries is still
limited, but important studies in recent years have broadened our
understanding. These suggest that developing country consumers are
concerned about FBD; that most of the known burden of FBD disease
comes from biological hazards...
