Acute gastroenteritis -- commonly known as food poisoning -- is one of the most common household illnesses in the United States, with an estimated 76 million food-related illnesses occurring each year. To learn more about preventing the spread of food-related illness pathogens on the farm, researchers at Cornell University are joining a new U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)-funded Food Safety Research and Response Network (FSRRN), led by North Carolina State University. FSRRN is a multi-institutional, multidisciplinary team of more than 50 food safety experts from 18 colleges and universities who will investigate several of the most prevalent food-borne pathogens. It is funded by a $5 million grant from the USDA Cooperative State Research, Education and Extension Service. (March 22, 2005)
