Many different disease-causing microbes or pathogens can contaminate foods, so there are many different types of foodborne illnesses.
Most foodborne diseases are infections caused by a variety of bacteria, viruses, and parasites. Other diseases are poisonings caused by harmful toxins or chemicals that have contaminated food.
Foodborne illness, more commonly referred to as food poisoning, is the result of eating contaminated, spoiled, or toxic food. The most common symptoms of food poisoning include nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.

What Causes Foodborne Illness?
LO 20.1 Distinguish between foodborne infection and foodborne intoxication
and provide an example of each.
Foodborne illness is any disorder caused by consuming contaminated food. It is a major
preventable public health threat worldwide. Every year in the United States, 1 in 6 Ameri-
cans (or 48 million people) experience foodborne illness, and about 128,000 are hospital-
ized.1 Foodborne illness most commonly results in gastrointestinal symptoms such as
cramps, diarrhea, and nausea and vomiting, but in extreme circumstances it can result in
death. Approximately 3,000 Americans die of foodborne illness every year.2
Pathogens and Their Toxins Cause Most Foodborne Illness
The two types of foodborne illness are infection and intoxication. Consuming foods or
beverages that are contaminated with disease-causing organisms, known as pathogens,
causes foodborne infection. Once ingested, the pathogens multiply in the GI tract and
cause illness. Pathogens commonly implicated in foodborne infection include viruses,
bacteria, molds, parasites, and prions (Table 20.1).
Eating foods contaminated with a toxin causes foodborne intoxication. Viruses
and parasites do not cause foodborne intoxication. Certain species of bacteria, however,
do secrete toxins. These include Cl.

presentation on food borne outbreaks. Apt for taking seminars, classes as well as can be used for spreading awareness among the public.
This presentation includes the Introduction to Food borne Outbreaks, Recent Data, Classification of food borne diseases, causes, contaminants, consequences, epidemiology, prevention & control and the Investigations of food borne outbreaks
Foodborne, commonly called food poisoning, and waterborne illnesses are conditions caused by eating or drinking food or water that is contaminated by microbes or the toxins they produce. They typically cause gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
Classification of food-borne diseases refers to the categorization of illnesses caused by consuming contaminated food or beverages. There are different classification systems used to categorize food-borne diseases, but most commonly, they are classified based on the causative agent.
Food-borne diseases can be caused by various microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, parasites, and toxins. Some of the common food-borne illnesses caused by bacteria include Salmonella, Campylobacter, and Escherichia coli (E. coli) infections. Viral infections such as norovirus and hepatitis A can also be transmitted through contaminated food or water. Parasitic infections such as giardiasis and cryptosporidiosis can be caused by consuming contaminated food or water.
The classification of food-borne diseases is important for identifying and understanding the different types of pathogens that cause food poisoning. This knowledge can help in the prevention and management of food-borne illnesses through proper food safety practices, surveillance, and treatment.

From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path
The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

2. INTRODUCTION
Many different disease-causing microbes or pathogens can contaminate foods, so there are
many different types of foodborne illnesses.
Most foodborne diseases are infections caused by a variety of bacteria, viruses, and
parasites. Other diseases are poisonings caused by harmful toxins or chemicals that have
contaminated food.

3. KEY FACTS (30 APRIL 2020)
An estimated 600 million fall ill after eating contaminated food
420 000 die every year, resulting in the loss of 33 million healthy life
years (DALYs).
Diarrheal diseases are the most common illnesses resulting from
the consumption of contaminated food, causing 550 million people
to fall ill and 230 000 deaths every year.

7. CLASSIFICATION OF
FOOD BORNE DISEASE
1: Food borne infection: caused due to the-
• Entrance of pathogenic microorganisms
contaminating food into the body.
• Body reacts by raising temperature e.g.- fever
• Longer incubation period.
2:Food borne intoxications:
• Caused by consumption of food containing
bio-toxicants, poisonous substance
(poisonous mushrooms)

8. Cross Contamination –
occurs when microorganisms are transferred from one surface or food
to another.
Time temperature abuse–
Happens when the food is exposed to Temperature Danger Zone (41⁰F
- 140⁰F) for more than 4 hrs.
Poor personnel hygiene–
Food handlers are carriers of disease causing bacteria. Food service
personnel can contaminate food
