- Listeria e Listeria monocytogenes em alimentos. Qualidade e segurança alimentarPublication . Mateus, Teresa Letra; Rocha, Humberto; Maia, Rui Leandro; Teixeira, PaulaA listeriose é uma doença causada pelo consumo de alimentos contaminados por Listeria monocytogenes e que é particularmente grave em indivíduos imunodeprimidos. A listeriose tem adquirido uma posição muito relevante como infeção de origem alimentar, também considerando o carácter ubiquitário do agente e a sua resiliência, motivo pelo qual dedicamos este artigo à ocorrência de Listeria em alimentos.
- Risk communication strategies (on listeriosis) for high-risk groupsPublication . Maia, Rui Leandro; Teixeira, Paula; Mateus, Teresa LetraBackground: Most cases of listeriosis are domestically acquired. Although consumers have a key role in its prevention, it is generally agreed that individuals at higher risk have a low awareness of the infection. Scope and approach: A summary of the scientific information on listeriosis awareness among high-risk groups will be presented. Reasons explaining unawareness and potential strategies to communicate with target groups in a manner that can effectively change risk behaviours reducing the burden of listeriosis will be discussed. Key findings and conclusions: Research efforts are needed in particular experimental studies that can identify which communication factors have a causal effect on peoples’ risk behaviour and how these factors influence the processing of information by consumers.
- We know one health, but we also need one communicationPublication . Mateus, Teresa Letra; Teixeira, Paula; Maia, Rui LeandroThe One Health concept was developed globally as a strategy to expand interdisciplinary collaborations in all aspects of human, animal, and environmental health. Although health communication is a well-recognized discipline in human health, it is not yet being applied in the context of One Health. This is a potentially wasted opportunity for building bridges between health (human, animal, and environmental) and social sciences, addressing cross-cutting issues in the holistic perspective required in the twenty-first century, keeping in mind that one solution does not fit all societies. One Communication allows communication to be made in several ways, using different channels and reaching different contexts and populations. In this chapter, the authors highlight some opportunities for One Communication in the context of food safety, zoonoses, and environmental health as well as the barriers perceived by them to the implementation of One Communication, taking into account the state-of-the-art and their own experience in recent projects and case studies.
