While consumption of ready-to-eat foods contaminated by infected food handlers remains the major risk factor for viral foodborne outbreaks, many types of food products are being recognized as vehicles of viruses in causing gastroenteritis or hepatitis A outbreaks (Table 13 .1 ). These data suggest that temperature, and probably relative humidity, may be meaningful in the seasonal distribution of outbreaks of certain human enteric viruses (Enright 1954 ) , due to the infl uence of these factors on virus persistence. Survival of enteric viruses in the environment and different food products has been well studied employing cell-adapted virus strains.	./cache/cord-017287-70lk77zb.txt	./txt/cord-017287-70lk77zb.txt
