JustFoodForDogs (JFFD) of Los Alamitos, CA recalled 3 daily diets for dogs because the green beans included in the meals might contain Listeria monocytogenes. While Listeriosis is rare in dogs and when infected most dogs have mild symptoms such as diarrhea and vomiting. Also, there is risk to humans if they were to ingest the dog food or come into contact with contaminated feces from a pet that has eaten the food.The potential for contamination was discovered after a purchaser of JFFD products reported to JFFD veterinary medical staff that her dogs had become ill. Tests to date confirm that green beans purchased from a restaurant supply distributor were positive for Listeria monocytogenes. @ https://www.fda.gov/Safety/Recalls/ucm593097.htm?utm_campaign=JustFoodForDogs%20Voluntarily%20Recalls%20Three%20Daily%20Diets%20because%20of%20Possible%20Listeria&utm_medium=email&utm_source=Eloqua

In Nature Ecology & Evolution (15 January 2018 issue) scientist identified Salmonella enterica as the potential cause of the epidemic known as ‘cocoliztli’ based on historical and archaeological evidence, to the 1545–1550 CE epidemic. Through the introduction of a new metagenomic analysis tool called MALT, applied in the study to search for traces of ancient pathogen DNA, they were able to identify Salmonella enterica in individuals buried in an early contact era epidemic cemetery. The scientists propose that S. Paratyphi C is a strong candidate for the epidemic population decline @ https://www.nature.com/articles/s41559-017-0446-6
Ancient DNA from victims of a sixteenth-century disease in Mexico suggests that Salmonella enterica Paratyphi C (enteric fever) was responsible for a devastating epidemic that closely followed European presence in the region.
