据估计，美国每年约有7600万人患病，325，000人住院，5，200人死亡，每年总成本为100 - 830亿美元。虽然食源性疾病的发病率在过去几年中保持相对稳定，但已经发生了与商业准备食品的组成部分或跨越州甚至国家的爆发有关的大规模爆发。由于世界人口全年都在期待新鲜农产品、有机农产品和外来食品，这些全球疫情的数量和严重程度有可能增加。需要有一种方法来快速识别这些疫情，筛选我们的食品供应，以及预防这些疫情。本文将讨论这个与我们的食物和水供应相关的问题的全球性，并解释解决这个国际问题的潜在方法。
It is estimated that there are approximately 76 million illnesses, 325,000 hospitalizations, and 5,200 deaths in the US each year attributed to foodborne outbreaks with a total cost of 10-83 billion US dollars a year. While the rates of foodborne disease have remained relatively constant over the last few years, there have been large outbreaks associated with either a component of commercially prepared food or outbreaks that span between states or even countries. With the world population expecting fresh produce year round, organic produce, and exotic foods, these global outbreaks have the potential to increase in number and severity. There needs to be a means to both rapidly identify these outbreaks, screen our food supply, as well as prevent these outbreaks. This article will discuss the global nature of this problem associated with our food and water supply as well as explain potential ways to solve this international problem.
