Pathogens-in-Foods (PIF): An open-access European database of occurrence data o...
Gonzales-Barron, Ursula; Faria, Ana Sofia; Thebault, Anne; Guillier, Laurent; Mendes, Lucas Ribeiro; Silva, Lucas Ribeiro; Messens, Winy; Kooh, PaulineThe collection of occurrence data of foodborne pathogens in foods faces the hindrances of dispersion of information, lack of standardisation and harmonisation, and ultimately, high expenditure in time and resources. The Pathogens-in-Foods (PIF) database was conceived as a solution to centralise published data on prevalence and concentration of pathogenic bacteria, viruses and parasites occurring in foods, obtai...
Pathogens-in-Foods database: A web application for assessing the occurrence dat...
Faria, Ana Sofia; Winter, Maiara; Thebault, Anne; Guillier, Laurent; Sanaa, Moez; Kooh, Pauline; Cadavez, Vasco; Gonzales-Barron, UrsulaPathogens-in-Foods (PIF) is a dynamic database constructed using systematic literature searches of occurrence data (prevalence and enumeration) of important pathogenic agents (Bacillus cereus, Campylobacter spp., Clostridium perfringens, Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella spp., Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Yersinia enterocolitica, Cryptosporidium spp., Giardia spp., Toxoplasma ...
Risk factors for sporadic hepatitis E infection: a systematic review and meta-a...
Pavio, Nicole; Kooh, Pauline; Cadavez, Vasco; Gonzales-Barron, Ursula; Thébault, AnneHepatitis E virus (HEV) is one of the main causes of viral hepatitis infection worldwide. Sources of contamination can vary greatly according to geographical regions and HEV genotypes. HEV is endemic and responsible for large waterborne epidemics involving human HEV-1 or HEV-2 genotypes in regions with limited sanitation, in contrast to industrialized countries, where HEV is mainly a foodborne zoonosis involvin...
Editorial note to the special issue “Risk factors for sporadic foodborne diseas...
Gonzales-Barron, Ursula; Cadavez, Vasco; Thebault, Anne; Kooh, Pauline; Sanaa, MoezEpidemiological studies are valuable tools for investigating the origin of outbreaks and also sporadic cases in order to better understand the circumstances of foodborne disease occurrence. It is common to report ad hoc analyses of compiled data of food-borne disease outbreaks, however, such analyses including sporadic cases remain relatively rare. In the literature, several case-control and cohort studies have...
Risk factors for sporadic listeriosis: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Leclercq, Alexandre; Kooh, Pauline; Augustin, Jean Christophe; Guillier, Laurent; Thébault, Anne; Cadavez, Vasco; Gonzales-Barron, Ursula; Sanaa, MoezListeriosis is a major public health concern associated with high hospitalization and mortality rates. The objective of this work was to summarize evidence on the associations between risk factors and sporadic cases by meta-analysing outcomes from currently published case-control studies. Suitable scientific articles were identified through systematic literature search, and subjected to a methodological quality...
Risk factors for sporadic toxoplasmosis: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Thebault, Anne; Kooh, Pauline; Cadavez, Vasco; Gonzales-Barron, Ursula; Villena, IsabelleToxoplasmosis is considered as the most prevalent parasitic zoonotic infection worldwide. The parasitic cycle is mostly known, but the relative contribution of different sources and pathways of transmission was not previously studied by a meta-analysis. A systematic review and a meta-analysis of case-control, cohort, and cross-sectional studies were performed to determine the main risk factors associated with s...
Risk factors for sporadic campylobacteriosis: a systematic review and meta-anal...
Fravalo, Philippe; Kooh, Pauline; Mughini-Gras, Lapo; David, Julie; Thébault, Anne; Cadavez, Vasco; Gonzales-Barron, UrsulaCampylobacter spp. is an important causative agent of diarrheal illness worldwide. The disease is frequently associated with foodborne transmission, but other routes of exposure are increasingly recognized. A systematic review and meta-analysis of case-control studies were performed to determine the main risk factors associated with sporadic campylobacteriosis. Suitable scientific articles published up to March...
Risk factors for sporadic cryptosporidiosis: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Kooh, Pauline; Thébault, Anne; Cadavez, Vasco; Gonzales-Barron, Ursula; Villena, IsabelleCryptosporidium spp. is an important cause of gastrointestinal disease worldwide, responsible for 69 million cases of illness in 2016. Information on the sources and transmission pathways of human cryptosporidiosis results mainly from outbreak investigations. A systematic review and a meta-analysis of case-control and cohort studies were performed to determine the main risk factors associated with sporadic cryp...
Risk factors for sporadic norovirus infection: a systematic review and meta-ana...
Thébault, Anne; David, Julie; Kooh, Pauline; Cadavez, Vasco; Gonzales-Barron, Ursula; Pavio, NicoleNorovirus is responsible for 20% of acute gastroenteritis worldwide. The fecal-oral route of transmission is known, but we proposed a first attempt to identify the relative importance of different sources and vehicles for sporadic cases using meta-analysis models. Case-control and cohort/cross-sectional studies were systematically reviewed and analyzed to assess the main risk factors associated with sporadic no...
Risk factors for sporadic infections caused by Shiga toxin-producing Escherichi...
Augustin, Jean Christophe; Kooh, Pauline; Mughini-Gras, Lapo; Guillier, Laurent; Thébault, Anne; Audiat-Perrin, Frédérique; Cadavez, VascoShiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are an important cause of foodborne disease associated with clinical outcomes ranging from mild intestinal discomfort to haemolytic uremic syndrome, including end-stage renal disease and death. The objective of this study was to synthetize evidence on risk factors for sporadic STEC infection by meta-analysing outcomes from available case-control studies. Suitable sc...
