Potential Public Health

The potential risk of toxin production by Clostridium botulinum in vacuum-packed and subsequently cooked potatoes (95 C for 40 min) was determined. Spores of both proteolytic and non-proteolytic C. botulinum survived the cooking process. Vacuum-packed cooked potatoes seemed to be an ideal substrate for C. botulinum to produce toxin. At storage temperatures of 10. 15 and 20 C, toxin production occurred before the product was spoiled. Only if stored at temperatures below 4 C can the product be guaranteed to have no potential public health risk.

SUMMARYWe present the frequency and the nature of contact incidents of the Serotine bat,Eptesicus serotinus, with humans and with companion animals (specifically cats and dogs), in The Netherlands between 2000 and 2005. Out of 17 bats in bite contact with humans, five tested positive for European bat lyssavirus (EBLV) type 1a. Cats had the most numerous contacts with bats (49 times) but a relatively low number of these bats were EBLV positive (six times). We estimated that the average incidence of human bat rabies infection might be between once per year and once per 700 years, depending mainly on the number of infectious viral particles in bat saliva. The risk of bat rabies is higher between April and October, and in the northern half of the country. This is the first study in Europe describing the risk of human bat rabies after bat contact incidents.
