The improvement of food safety in the domestic environment requires a transdisciplinary approach, involving interaction between both the social and natural sciences. This approach is applied in a...
Cross-contamination in the kitchen: effect of hygiene measures (2008)
Verhoeff-Bakkenes, L., Nauta, M.J.
Aims: To determine the effect of hygiene measures on cross-contamination of Campylobacter jejuni at home and to select a safe tracer organism for C. jejuni. Methods and Results: Comparative tests...
Fischer, A.R.H., Frewer, L.J., Nauta, M.J.
It has been established that, to a considerable extent, the domestic hygiene practices adopted by consumers can result in a greater or lesser microbial load in prepared meals. In the research...
Kip, consument en Campylobacter: infectieziektebestrijding met consumentenvoorlichting (2007)
Pluimveevlees is een belangrijke bron van Campylobacter en Campylobacter is een belangrijke verwekker van gastro-enteritis in Nederland. Maatregelen die gericht zijn op het terugbrengen van het...

A Risk Assessment Model for Campylobacter in Broiler Meat (2007)
Nauta, M.J., Jacobs-Reitsma, W.F., Havelaar, A.H.
A quantitative microbiological risk assessment model describes the transmission of Campylobacter through the broiler meat production chain and at home, from entering the processing plant until...
Fischer, A.R.H., Frewer, L.J., Nauta, M.J.
To reduce consumer health risks from foodborne diseases that result from improper domestic food handling, consumers need to know how to safely handle food. To realize improvements in public health,...
Improving Food Safety in the Domestic Environment: The Need for a Transdisciplinary Approach (2005)
Fischer, A.R.H., Frewer, L.J., Nauta, M.J.
Microbial food safety has been the focus of research across various disciplines within the risk analysis community. Natural scientists involved in food microbiology and related disciplines work on...
Individual differences in domestic food handling practices (2005)
Fischer, A.R.H., Frewer, L.J., Nauta, M.J.
As consumers are the final link in the chain from production (farm) to consumption (fork), knowledge about domestic food handling practices is essential for microbial risk assessment, and the...
A poultry-processing model for quantitative microbiological risk assessment (2005)
A poultry-processing model for a quantitative microbiological risk assessment (QMRA) of campylobacter is presented, which can also be applied to other QMRAs involving poultry processing. The same...
Cooke, R.M., Nauta, M.J., Goossens, L.H., Havelaar, A.H.

The goal of the CARMA project is to advise the Dutch government on the effectiveness and efficiency of measures aimed at reducing campylobacteriosis in the Dutch population. This report describes the...
Evolution of genetic systems in filamentous Ascomycetes. (1994)
http://library.wur.nl/wda/abstracts/ab1724.html
Evolutionary Dynamics of Spore Killers
Spore killing in ascomycetes is a special form of segregation distortion. When a strain with the Killer genotype is crossed to a Sensitive type, spore killing is expressed by asci with only half the...
Constraints on Allele Size at Microsatellite Loci: Implications for Genetic Differentiation
Microsatellites are promising genetic markers for studying the demographic structure and phylogenetic history of populations. We present theoretical arguments indicating that the usefulness of...
