These approaches complement classical predictive models, which traditionally rely on population-averaged parameters and may overlook the heterogeneity that exists among strains and microbial communities. Omics data help identify genetic, functional, and regulatory features that underpin differences in stress tolerance, growth potential, and virulence, offering a more precise basis for hazard identification and exposure assessment. Genomic and pangenomic analyses clarify how core and accessory gene pools shape strain-level behavior, while transcriptomic studies reveal active pathways during acid, cold, or osmotic challenges. Metatranscriptomics extends this insight to complex communities, capturing how dominant and satellite members contribute to ecosystem function under food-relevant conditions. Incorporating these datasets into predictive microbiology and quantitative microbial risk assessment (QMRA) supports more realistic estimates of growth, survival, and persistence, reducing uncertainty in hazard characterization. Evidence shows that many food-associated strains are hypovirulent or slow-growing, indicating that risk may be overestimated when genetic heterogeneity is not considered. Although molecular data do not directly prescribe mitigation strategies, they support risk management by identifying which subpopulations merit targeted interventions, clarifying which process parameters influence persistence, and refining prioritization decisions. Our work discusses how omics tools align with primary, secondary, and tertiary predictive models and examines the complementarity between traditional decision-making frameworks and AI-based methods. Emphasis is also placed on sustainability, as omics-informed modeling enables more efficient in silico assessments and reduces dependence on resource-intensive challenge testing. Together, these developments strengthen the connection between risk assessment and risk management, supporting more proportionate and informed food safety decisions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48593,"journal":{"name":"Microbial Risk Analysis","volume":"31 ","pages":"Article 100364"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146037796","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Democratic Republic of Congo is currently facing multiple outbreaks associated with Clade I. Effectively controlling localized community transmission within endemic areas through vaccination can reduce the likelihood of broader regional or even global outbreaks. Large-scale community vaccination in DRC is challenged by limited resources, including vaccine availability during early outbreaks in remote areas, whereas limited surveillance, contact tracing, and accessibility to remote locations can reduce the effectiveness of targeted ring vaccination. Furthermore, recent outbreaks in DRC have been driven by both sexual and non-sexual close contact transmissions. Here, we used an agent-based model with stochastic transmission within and between households to assess the effectiveness of ring vaccination for controlling localized community transmission in the presence of incomplete case reporting and delay in vaccination. We consider both nonsexual close contact and sexual transmission. We found that ring vaccination, even with 25–50 % reporting, is effective in reducing outbreak cluster sizes and the likelihood of large cluster sizes (>5 cases), particularly when implemented shortly after detection of initial cases. The effectiveness of ring vaccination reduces with the inclusion of sexual transmission. We show that outbreak size and the likelihood of large clusters are reduced when responding to every reported infection, even with 2–3 weeks of delay. Settings with strong surveillance systems characterized by high levels of reporting will have earlier case detection, enabling earlier response and improving the effectiveness of ring vaccination.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48593,"journal":{"name":"Microbial Risk Analysis","volume":"31 ","pages":"Article 100363"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145883990","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We developed Random Forest regression models incorporating prefecture identifiers, climatic variables, and a one-year lag of JSF cases to account for spatial heterogeneity and temporal autocorrelation. Models based solely on national-average climate variables exhibited poor predictive performance, indicating that climate alone does not explain temporal increases in JSF incidence.

We integrated extended the storage step, to account for genetic variability in cold inactivation by incorporating gene-level genomic data associated with cold tolerance, derived from literature and a large <em>C. jejuni</em> genomic dataset, into the traditional QMRA model by setting up cold inactivation curves from existing data to map the relationship between the number of cold tolerance genes and temperature-dependent inactivation. The predicted number of cases was 8822 human cases/year in the benchmark QMRA model. The contamination of meat with <em>C. jejuni</em> strains having lower cold tolerance genes can reduce the expected number of human campylobacteriosis cases up to 100%; on the other hand, higher number of cold tolerance genes resulted in an increase up to 335.8% on the expected number of cases. Although our results are based on simulations, we show a potential implementation of the genetic information into QMRA, linking risk estimates with whole-genome sequencing data.
