Public health strategies for reducing aflatoxin exposure in developing countries: workgroup report por Strosnider, H., Azziz-Baumgartner, E., Bänziger, Marianne, Bhat, R.V., Breiman, R., Brune, M., DeCock, K., Dilley, A., Groopman, J., Hell, K.

“…The workgroup also identified public health strategies that could be integrated with current agricultural approaches to resolve gaps in current knowledge and ultimately reduce morbidity and mortality associated with the consumption of aflatoxin-contaminated food in the developing world. Four issues that warrant immediate attention were identified: a) quantify the human health impacts and the burden of disease due to aflatoxin exposure; b) compile an inventory, evaluate the efficacy, and disseminate results of ongoing intervention strategies; c) develop and augment the disease surveillance, food monitoring, laboratory, and public health response capacity of affected regions; and d) develop a response protocol that can be used in the event of an outbreak of acute aflatoxicosis. …”

Applications of Molecular Biology and Genomics to Genetic Enhancement of Crop Tolerance to Abiotic Stress : a Discussion Document por CGIAR Interim Science Council, Bennett, John, Gale, Michael, Uchimiya, Hirofumi

“…The report by Mike Gale dated August 2002 where he states that it is an appropriate time to tackle abiotic stress head-on, given the motivation already in place, the experience of the ARIs in technology and model systems, the knowledge among the NARS plant breeders on stressed agricultural environments, and the CGIAR Centres’ comparative advantage over mandate crops along with their links to the developing world as well as to industry.2. The report entitled "Status of Breeding for Telerance of Abiotic Stresses and Prospects for Use of Molecular Techniques" by John Bennett dated March 2001. …”

Is exposure to animal feces harmful to child nutrition and health outcomes? A multicountry observational analysis por Headey, Derek D., Nguyen, Phuong Hong, Kim, Sunny S., Rawat, Rahul, Ruel, Marie T., Menon, Purnima

“…Some of this research also hypothesizes that while the more pathogenic bacteria in human excreta may be the more important cause of diarrheal illnesses in young children, animal excreta may be an important reservoir of nonpathogenic bacteria that are still capable of causing the chronic subclinical damage to the gut, which is characterized as EED.15 In this regard, a particular concern is the possibility that young children in the developing world frequently ingest animal feces or fecally contaminated soils. …”

Risk assessment for E. coli O157:H7 in marketed raw and fermented milk in selected African countries por Omore, Amos O., Grace, Delia, Randolph, Thomas F., Mohammed, H.

“…Whereas standards and regulations that insist on cold chain pathways and pasteurization have been successfully implemented in western countries, they have largely failed in most of the developing world. We carried out a risk assessment study for E. coli 0157:H7 in marketed raw and fermented milk in Kenya, Tanzania and Ghana. …”

Innovation, competition, and productivity growth: Evidence on the impact of growth in Asia's maize seed sector por Spielman, David J., Kennedy, Adam

“…The paper explores current gaps in the metrics used to analyze the level of competition and innovation in Asia’s maize industry, and more generally, in seed industries throughout much of the developing world. It provides a finite set of indicators designed to better measure competition and innovation in a country’s seed industry to improve research priority-setting and inform policymaking. …”
