Research Interest:
- Elucidation of interrelationships between the natural environment and human activities (cultural, social, economic, etc.) specific to Asia through analysis of enteric infections
Research Overview:
- We can look at the human-nature interaction through an analysis of the epidemiology of infectious diseases. Molecular epidemiological tools such as DNA fingerprinting can be a very powerful tool in the analysis, helping to prove in a objective manner the subjective hypothesis put forward in field study. The puzzles I have been collaborating with scientists in Asia to solve are infections caused by Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Vibrio cholerae, and Escherichia coli O157.

Research Summary: The amount of exported/imported food is increasing year by year and it is a global activity. It is therefore an issue of a global importance to secure the necessary amount and safety of food traded. W [ Read More ] |
