Title: | Burden and Risk Assessment of Foodborne Parasites | Authors: | Devleesschauwer, B Dorny, P FAES, Christel Havelaar, A.H. Torgerson, Paul R. Speybroeck, N |
Issue Date: | 2018 | Publisher: | Springer | Source: | Ortega, Y.R.; Sterling, C.R. (Ed.). Foodborne Parasites, Springer, p. 341 -365 | Abstract: | Burden and risk assessment play an increasingly important and accepted role in defining control policies for foodborne parasites (FBPs). Burden assessment is a top-down approach, starting from available epidemiological data, while risk assessment is a bottom-up or predictive approach, starting from exposure and dose-response data. Both methods however share a common goal of generating estimates of the health and economic impacts of the concerned hazards. These estimates can be used to generate an evidence-based ranking of the impact of FBPs (i.e. risk ranking) and a baseline against which the effects of interventions can be evaluated. Risk assessment further provides a scientific framework for evaluating the potential effects of intervention measures and, by combining with economic models, the expected efficiency of such measures. | Keywords: | Burden of disease;Cost of illness;Disability-adjusted life years;Dose-response assessment;Exposure assessment;Foodborne parasites;Risk assessment;Risk characterisation;Risk ranking | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/34253 | ISBN: | 9783319676623 | DOI: | 10.1007/978-3-319-67664-7_15 | Category: | B2 | Type: | Book Section | Validations: | vabb 2023 |
