ISGP Podcast: The Foodborne Identity

Although few cases make the news, foodborne illnesses impose a major national  financial burden each year, and greater focus is needed on prevention efforts, says Dr. Jørgen Schlundt, of the National Food Institute, Technical University of Denmark, in his policy position paper The Use of Farm-to-Fork Surveillance and New Genome Sequencing Techniques to Prevent and Control Foodborne Disease Globally .

Dr. Schlundt's paper was debated at the ISPG conference Emerging and Persistent Infectious Diseases: Focus on Prevention, convened in San Diego, California, United States, on June 5–8, 2011.
