In the last few years many reports have documented that human pathogenic viruses are transmitted via food and can cause epidemics. Between November 1994 and February 1995 a HAV epidemic was recorded in the village and agricultural area of Euskirchen (Germany). 49 persons with HAV infections were registered. It seems that the epidemic started in a bakery and was caused by an employee who had spent his holidays in the Dominican Republic and came back already excreting the virus via his faeces. Two weeks later he developed a symptomatic illness. HAV is transmitted via a fecal-oral cycle. Lack of hygiene in food production and distribution cause the risk of secondary virus contamination. Virus transmission via food is first of all a problem in uncooked food. To ensure success in food safety in respect of foodborne human pathogenic viruses it is important to establish personal hygienic education, cleaning and disinfection plans and preventive measures such as immunization to avoid viruses in the food.
在过去几年中，许多报告都记录了人类致病病毒可通过食物传播并引发疫情。1994年11月至1995年2月期间，德国埃uskirchen的村庄和农业地区记录了一场甲型肝炎疫情。登记了49例甲型肝炎感染病例。疫情似乎始于一家面包店，起因是一名员工在多米尼加共和国度假后回来，已经通过粪便排出病毒。两周后，他出现了症状性疾病。甲型肝炎通过粪口循环传播。食品生产和分销过程中的卫生状况不佳会导致病毒二次污染的风险。通过食物传播病毒首先是生食方面的问题。为确保在食源性人类致病病毒方面的食品安全取得成功，开展个人卫生教育、制定清洁和消毒计划以及采取免疫等预防措施以避免食物中的病毒非常重要。
