Foodborne and waterborne diseases

Infectious diseases transmitted through food and water pose a significant threat to public health worldwide. Their emergence and persistence necessitate continuous research efforts to understand their etiology, transmission mechanisms, and effective preventive strategies. Recent efforts through collaborations between microbiologists, epidemiologists and environmental scientists have led to the development of innovative surveillance methods, improved sanitation practices and targeted interventions. Continued research is required to identify emerging pathogens, to understand their adaptations and to devise rapid diagnostic tools for early detection. We invite researchers in foodborne and waterborne diseases to submit their work to this Collection at BMC Infectious Diseases on foodborne and waterborne diseases.
