CRC Press

Año: 2017; p. 131 - 154

This book focuses on the value and utility of laboratory models in the study of foodborne infectious diseases. Each chapter presents a state-of-the-art review of laboratory models used for the study of a particular foodborne pathogen in relation to its life cycle, host-pathogen interaction, pathogenesis, and immune response. Animal and cellular models include mice, rats, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, nonhuman primates, birds, zebrafish, frogs, chicken embryo, fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, and waxworm Galleria mellonella.
