Predicting human dose-response relationships from multiple biological models: Issues with Cryptosporidium parvum

September 28, 2000 
USDA Center at Riverside 
Riverdale, Maryland

Meeting description

The purpose of this meeting was to facilitate discussion with the scientific community and the public on dose-response modeling of foodborne pathogens. We discussed the use of human and nonhuman models of infection and disease to predict human dose-response relationships, focusing on the water- and foodborne parasite C.  parvum as a model organism for other foodborne pathogens.
