The broad spectrum of foodborne infections has changed dramatically over time, as well-established pathogens have been controlled or eliminated, and new ones have emerged. The burden of foodborne diseases remains largely unknown and substantial: one in four Americans is estimated to have a significant foodborne illness each year. In 2005, it was reported that 1.8 million people died from diarrhoeal diseases (World Health Organization), largely attributed to contaminated food and drinking water. This
worldwide each year (Majowicz et al., 2010). This statistic clearly indicate that Salmonella infections are public health and financial global burden for both industrialised and non-industrialised countries. In Australia, majority of human disease outbreaks of Salmonellosis are associated with consumption of contaminated egg and egg products (OzFoodNetWorkingGroup, 2012, 2015). Several intervention strategies have been implemented on a worldwide scale to reduce the risk of Salmonella contamination and

Indeed, most recent outbreaks have occurred in southeastern Asia and Africa where anthrax is endemic, often in isolated villages, and therefore have been difficult to investigate. Pulmonary anthrax (woolsorter’s disease) results from spore inhalation and like gastric anthrax

Introduction Throughout this assignment I am going to be looking into the health and social topic of communicable and non-communicable diseases. I will be investigating into various aspects of two specific diseases. A high level of knowledge will be demonstrated with a detailed description of both communicable and non-communicable diseases as well as an understanding of epidemiology. I will then find a communicable and non-communicable disease example and describe the biological basis of each disease
