We apologize for this urgent notice due to the emergency situation and wish you all good health.

[pb_slideshow group=”2″]

An international symposium organized by COST action 16110: Control of Human Pathogenic Micro-organisms in Plant Production Systems.
24-25, March, 2020, Haifa.

     Overview:
Contamination of plants meant for human consumption is of increased concern for food-safety and human health. Many different disease outbreaks resulting from consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables demonstrated the possibility of occurrence of human pathogenic micro-organisms in plant derived products. It is clear that particular microbes can find their ecological niches in agriculture production systems. Contamination routes of human pathogenic micro-organisms to plants are poorly understood. Basic resources for agro-production, such as soils, water and fertilizers can play a role in contamination of plants, but micro-organisms taxonomically closely related with human pathogenic micro-organisms are also present in plant microbiomes. Human pathogenic micro-organisms must be considered as integral components of the plant microbiome and it is the intention of HUPLANTcontrol to investigate the potential i aspects of plant microbiomes on human health and to integrate novel scientific insight into sanitary measures and agricultural management practices.
