• Sommario/riassunto: Developments such as the increasing globalisation of the food industry, constant innovations in technologies and products, and changes in the susceptibility of populations to disease, have all highlighted the problem of emerging pathogens. Pathogens may be defined as emerging in a number of ways. They can be newly- discovered (e.g. through more sensitive analytical methods), linked for the first time to disease in humans, or first associated with a particular food. A pathogen may also be defined as 'emerging' when significant new strains emerge from an existing pathogen, or if the incidence of
