Gentle waters crop protection for conservation grown fruit farming landscapes in Germany (Project)

Major fruit-growing areas in Germany as the regions of the Lower Elbe ('Altes Land') and at Lake Constance waters are relatively rich. With the use of plant protection products in orchards that are in close proximity to water bodies, in practice including by buffer zones and gaps in significant reduction in yield, quality and thereby threaten its very existence to some extent economic...

Development of a Variable-Number Tandem-Repeats (VNTR) analysis method for the subtyping of Salmonella enterica serovar Infantis und Virchow (Project)

For Salmonella foodborne outbreak investigations highly discriminative typing methods are necessary to identify outbreak related strains and to determine their clonality. It has been shown that the Multiple-locus variable-number tandem-repeats analysis (MLVA) is a useful method for the subtyping of various pathogens. Beside the Salmonella serovars Enteritidis and Typhimurium, for those at the...

Induction and expression of Shiga Toxins in STEC and EHEC strains for their diagnosis and as parameter for risk assessment (Project)

The ability of STEC and EHEC to produce sufficient quantities of Shiga toxin (Stx) has a significant effect on the virulence of this pathogen for humans. Various studies have shown that the amount of Shiga toxin differs considerably between STEC/EHEC strains. Not only the Stx-type, but also the quantity of Stx decides, whether STEC-infections are accompanied with severe disease as HUS. Many STEC...

Methicillin resistant and enterotoxic S. aureus in raw milk from dairy cows (Project)

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus has recently been characterized by EFSA as a zoonotic pathogen. Enterotoxins produced by some strains of S. aureus cause food poisoning in humans.The objective of the study is to determine the prevalence of Methicillin-resistant and enterotoxic S. aureus in raw milk. Factors associated with the prevalence of these S. aureus strains in bulk tank milk...

Data Interpretation Based on the German National Nutrition Survey II (NVS II): An Integrative Analysis of Behavioral and Lifestyle-Related Factors for Organic Food Consumption (Project)

Data of population groups from the German National Nutrition Survey II will be analyzed concerning their organic food purchase or non-purchasing behavior. The subgroups high, intermediate and non-purchasers of organic food will be investigated by taking into account their nutritional behavior, their attitudes and socio demographics. Descriptive analyses will be conducted to describe patterns of...
