Viruses are common causes of foodborne outbreaks. Viral diseases have low fatality rates but transmission to humans via food is important due to the high probability of consuming fecally contaminated food or water because of poor food handling. Because of the low infectious doses of some foodborne viruses, there is a need for standardization and the development of new sensitive methods for detecting viruses. The focus is on molecular and non- molecular approaches, and emerging methods for the detection of foodborne viruses. The detection of noroviruses, hepatitis A and E viruses, rotaviruses and adenoviruses will be discussed. The chapter will conclude with insights into future research directions.

New approaches in microbial pathogen detection Kahyaoğlu, Leyla Nesrin (Woodhead Publishing, 2013-01-01) Viruses are common causes of foodborne outbreaks. Viral diseases have low fatality rates but transmission to humans via food is important due to the high probability of consuming fecally contaminated food or water because of poor food handling. Because of the low infectious doses of some foodborne viruses, there is a need for standardization and the development of new sensitive methods for detecting viruses.

A Viral Enzymatic Reaction Prioritization Tool for Development of Viral Biosensors Kıyıkçı , Hüseyin Furkan; Anık , Ülkü; Süzek, Barış Ethem (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi Enformatik Enstitüsü; 2022-10) Viruses are small pathogens that are capable of infecting most eukaryotes. Their effect varies from slight to fatal for the infected organism. Viral infections may lead to significant ecological, social, and financial costs. Despite significant advancements in vaccine and virus research, virus viral diseases continue to be a major public health concern. Biosensors, in general, are compact devices that convert bio-recognition processes into measurable signals in a short amount of time. More specifically, vir...
Development of a new immobilization procedure for detection of stphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) and Candida Albicans Ertürkan, Deniz; Özgen, Canan; Külah, Haluk; Department of Chemical Engineering (2012) Fast and accurate detection of pathogens such as bacteria, their toxins and viruses at low concentrations is very important. The conventional techniques are time consuming where expensive equipment is required with a consumption of excess amount of blood from patients. Recently, immunosensors are used for the detection of pathogens because they are miniature, sensitive, biocompatible and require low power. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDCP), 76 million people become ill due t...
Development of immunoaffinity based detection platforms for food pathogens Çam, Dilek; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni; Department of Biology (2016) Salmonella and E.coli, food pathogens, are among the very important pathogens threating the health. Rapid and easy detection of these pathogens is crucial. In this context, lateral flow assay (LFA) platform prepared by gold nanoparticles (GNPs) based on antibody for Salmonella and E.coli O157:H7 was developed in the first part of this study. In second part, single chain variable fragments (scFv) and SNAP-Tagged full IgG (fusion protein) of se155-4 antibody specific to Salmonella were genetically produced. T...
Elucidation of the role of GCN2 gene in response to powdery mildew infection Öztürk, İbrahim Kutay; Akkaya, Mahinur S.; Ersoy, Figen; Department of Biotechnology (2012) Plant immune system is entirely based on the immunities of the individual cells in which systemic signals originate from the infection sites. Powdery mildew disease is one of the agents causing these infection sites, resulting in significant yield losses, if disease develops. Understanding the molecular basis of plant-pathogen interactions is the new trend for fighting against plant pathogens, since classical methods used in selection of resistant plants are becoming less and less efficient nowadays. Thus, ...
