Uncertainties associated with assessing the public health risk from Legionella.
[legionellosis]
Legionella
is
an
opportunistic
pathogen
of
public
health
concern
.
Current
regulatory
and
management
guidelines
for
the
control
of
this
organism
are
informed
by
risk
assessments
.
However
,
there
are
many
unanswered
questions
and
uncertainties
regarding
Legionella
epidemiology
,
strain
infectivity
,
infectious
dose
,
and
detection
methods
.
This
review
follows
the
EnHealth
Risk
Assessment
Framework
,
to
examine
the
current
information
available
regarding
Legionella
risk
and
discuss
the
uncertainties
and
assumptions
.
This
review
can
be
used
as
a
tool
for
understanding
the
uncertainties
associated
with
Legionella
risk
assessment
.
It
also
serves
to
highlight
the
areas
of
Legionella
research
that
require
future
focus
.
Improvement
of
these
uncertainties
will
provide
information
to
enhance
risk
management
practices
for
Legionella
,
potentially
improving
public
health
protection
and
reducing
the
economic
costs
by
streamlining
current
management
practices
.
