antigens because the animal’s antibody strive to fight against pathogenic EHEC O157 H7; second approach is competitive exclusion which involves the introduction of microbes that can suppress the existence of EHEC O157 H7 To attain a low EHEC O157 H7 infectious does, food processing must be thorough to attain reduced presence. HACCP determined different temperatures for diverse food (meat and poultry diary product etc.), While for food handling and preparation practices; HACCP proposed some key…

Goffman (1971) explains the spread of ideas within a scientific community to be strikingly similar to the spread of infectious diseases and considers both these process to be special cases of a general communication process. An epidemic model using Markov chains was used to explain the spread of and to predict the rise and fall of research areas within a community. Markov property : A discrete time Markov chain is a stochastic process {Xn } with finite state space S that satisfies the Markov…
