Gastritis and gastroenteritis may have similar names, but they are different health conditions. Gastritis tends to affect the lining of the stomach, whereas gastroenteritis affects the intestines. Gastritis is inflammation, or irritation, of the stomach lining. Gastroenteritis, on the other hand, is inflammation of the intestine, or the stomach and the bowel. Gastritis can be acute or chronic.

Skip to: As the name suggests, foodborne viruses are those transmitted through the consumption of food and beverages. They are typically highly resistant to environmental factors, such as low pH (acidity) and heat. This makes them highly persistent so that they can remain infective for over a month in food and water. As they originate within the intestines of humans and animals, these viruses are predominantly spread through feces and other body fluids. The contamination of food stuff with pathogenic viruses is often caused by poor hygienic practices in the production line or contact of the food with animal waste or sewage. Foods most commonly associated with foodborne viruses include shellfish, which are harvested near human sewage outlets, undercooked meats as well as fruit and vegetables which are grown on animal waste fertilized grounds. Even if sewage systems are treated, the virus removal and the removal efficiency depend on how much viral load is present. Types o...
