none highlight the foodborne parasitic pathogens. Until now. A state-of-the-art
review, Biology of Foodborne Parasites charts significant progress and outlines key i
advanced biological techniques applied to foodborne parasitic pathogens research. o
The book covers basic biology, genetics and genomics, epidemiology, pathogenesis, l
diagnosis, control, and prevention. It showcases recent research that can then be o
used to spark further breakthroughs. g PPaarraassiitteess
The book addresses challenging issues in food pathogen detection. It covers y
individual foodborne protists and helminthes, with each chapter following a similar
format for a consistent presentation of information. It covers topics ranging from o
basic biology, genetics and genomics, molecular detection and typing, and patho-
f
genesis to epidemiology and molecular epidemiology, and treatment and prevention,
among other current concerns. It details the methods used to diagnose the infection, F
characterize the pathogen, and detect parasites in three food commodities: meats,
o
water, and fresh produce.

Preface
Parasites such as helminths and protists are the main pathogens responsible for foodborne illnesses in
both industrialized nations and developing countries. Although funding for research on these patho-
gens is shadowed by foodborne bacteria and viruses, they have gained increasing attention in both the
research community and public health agencies in recent years. This is largely due to the realization of
the importance of global trade in foodborne disease occurrence, more wide use of culture-independent
diagnostic assays in pathogen detection, and increased use of next-generation sequencing and omics
tools in pathogen characterizations. As a result, significant progresses have been made on biology of
foodborne parasites. This book attempts to showcase some of the most recent developments in research
on foodborne parasites.
The chapters in this book are written by scientists who are actively engaged in research on biology
of major foodborne parasites. Efforts are made to include frontline experts from countries where food-
borne parasites exert their heaviest disease burdens. Section I discusses the importance of foodborne
parasites and some key techniques that have been applied to foodborne parasitic pathogen research,
whereas Sections II and III cover individual foodborne protists and helminths, with each chapter provid-
ing a state-of-the-art review of biology and pathogenesis of major foodborne parasitic pathogens and
key techniques applicable to pathogen detection and characterization. We hope this book will serve as a
useful guide to medical, veterinary, and food laboratory scientists in need of advanced knowledge and
techniques about foodborne parasites, and a handy textbook for undergraduate and graduate students in
medical, veterinary, and food microbiology.
We thank the authors for their excellent contributions to this book. We also thank the series editor
Dongyou Liu for guidance and the CRC Press senior editor Stephen M. Zollo and his staff members
for the assistance in this project. We appreciate the support and understanding from our colleagues and
families, without whom the work would have been impossible to complete.
