ACMSF: Recommendation for research into epidemiology of VTEC O157 in agricultural livestock and husbandry and other factors contributing to herd infection and control.
Pennington: Education/awareness programme for farm workers, repeated and updated periodically to ensure that they are aware:
(a) of the existence, potential prevalence and nature of E.coli O157 (b) of the potential for the spread of infection on farms in a number of
ways, including notably from faecal material, and of the consequent need for scrupulous personal hygiene.
