The characteristics of \u003ci\u003eTrypanosoma cruzi\u003c\/i\u003e and the clinical effects of the disease are covered, including documented outbreaks, regional patterns, and epidemiology. The various transmission routes are outlined, but with specific focus on foodborne transmission. A major emphasis of this text is contamination of fruit\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003ejuices with\u003ci\u003e Trypanosoma cruzi\u003c\/i\u003e in, a transmission vehicle with increasing significance in the spread of this parasite. Also outlined is the difficulty of establishing a protocol for detection in food samples. Results on survival of \u003ci\u003eTrypanosoma cruzi\u003c\/i\u003e in food matrices is considered, as well as current risk assessment procedures and regulations. Different approaches to preventing transmission, including inactivation and decontamination are introduced, but also the importance of targeted educational initiatives, and also with a focus on future detection, prevention, and prevention of contamination of foods with this parasite.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2015-11-09\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319234090\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-23410-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 92\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44398823506060,"sku":"9783319234090","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319234090.jpg?v=1776524913","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783319234090","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
