| Tóm tắt: | Historically the transmission of disease from animals has increased as humans
have evolved from a hunter–gatherer existence to the domestication of ani-
mals. As animals became domesticated, humans were in closer proximity to
animals themselves, their excreta and the pathogens they carried. These
pathogens could contaminate food and water, and resulted in human sickness.
During the 1950s and 1960s, there was an explosion in agricultural pro-
ductivity, a dramatic decline in animal and human infectious disease – largely
as a result of the use of antimicrobials, and the emergence of a relatively cheap
food supply. During the 1970s and 1980s there was a perception that the ‘food
production problem’ had been solved, but we have seen an increase of not
only classical food safety issues but also of concern about how livestock
production may affect human health in general. |
