Papers on mycobacteria in food, feed and water, published between 1945 and 2010 and indexed in the database Web of Science (Thomson Reuters), were ranked according to authors, institutions, countries and source titles. The total number of papers on mycobacteria and food, and mycobacteria and water were 1,486 and 1,419, respectively. More than 40% of papers have been published in the last five years. In addition to publications in peer reviewed journals the archives of ProMED-mail and the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed of the European Union were also searched. It is evident that much attention is being paid to mycobacteria in food, feed and water as they likely pose a public health risk.

Food handling by the gregarious Mediterranean water shrew Neomys anomalus

1999

Rychlik, L. (Polish Academy of Sciences, Bialowieza (Poland). Mammal Research Inst.)

Foraging behaviour of gregarious Mediterranean water shrew Neomys anomalus was investigated in 7 individuals. Shrews were tested individually and in a 4-animal-group in a terrarium. Shrew behaviour was recorded in darkness using 2 infra-red sensitive video-cameras. Two experimental variants, with and without natural structures in the terrarium, were established. When foraging individually, N. anomalus consumed only few food portions at the places of finding. Shrews hoarded most food in the nest and/or in hiding-places and ate it under cover. The presence of natural structures caused hoarding and eating of food in scattered hiding-places, instead of carrying it to the nest. During group foraging, N. anomalus did not hoard food communally, and preparation of individual stores almost ceased. In all tests, they ate successively more food items at the places of finding as the duration of foraging increased.
