Project details: research programme B01
Details of Agency-funded projects under the former 'Assessing micobilogical hazards and risks' programme (B01)
Note that in 2001/2002 all of the foodborne illness programmes were restructured which resulted in a number of 'B01' prefixed projects being transferred to other programmes. This list details B01 projects that were not transferred.
B01003 (Formerly FS3104): Characterisation of the non-linear thermal inactivation kinetics observed for Mycobacterium paratuberculosis in milk
This research project aims to clarify the mechanism(s) that aid survival of Mycobacterium paratuberculosis (MAP) during heating and to identify the times and temperatures required to inactivate MAP if present in milk.
Results available.
B01006: Why do bugs stick to what they stick to
