4th International Workshop on Interactions between crop plants and human pathogens Organized by CA COST Action CA16110 Control of Human Pathogenic Micro-organisms in Plant Production Systems WP1 Ecology of HPMO in plants and in environments relevant for plant production and WP4 Agricultural practices and sanitary measures undertaken for the control of HPMO in plant production Food-borne disease outbreaks resulting from consumption of plant-derived fresh produce have been reported worldwide. It is clear that particular groups of human pathogenic micro-organisms (HPMO) can find their ecological niches in plant production systems. Contamination routes of HPMO to plants are poorly understood. Basic resources for agro-production, such as soils, water and fertilizers can play a role in contamination of plants, but micro-organisms taxonomical closely related with HPMO are also present in plant microbiomes. HPMO must be considered as integral components of the plant microbiome and it is the intention of HUPLANTcontrol to investigate the potential negative aspects of plant microbiomes on human health and to integrate novel scientific insight into sanitary measures and agricultural management practices. The HUPLANTcontrol network consists of working groups focusing on the ecology of HPMO in plants, the taxonomical identification of HPMO from plants, on characterization of the potential human-threatening nature of HPMOs, and on sanitary and agricultural management procedures to control HPMO in plant production facilities. The achieved knowledge is discussed and shared between science groups and relevant stakeholders from agriculture, industry and public health authorities. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers and stakeholders and discuss the newest achievements in understanding of ecology of HPMO in plant environment as well as new achievements in sanitary measurements allowing to prevent plant-originated foodborne outbreaks.

There are direct trains to Tulln/Donau Bahnhof from Vienna Franz-Josefs-Bahnhof. Or you take a direct train from Spittelau Wien, where you have connection with Metro U4 and U6, to Tulln/Donau Bahnhof. There are trains about every 30 minutes. You may also take a train from the Airport or Hauptbahnhof Wien to Tullnerfeld and change trains to Tulln/Donau Bahnhof. Airport Vienna in Austria. The airport is the country's biggest airport. The airport features a dense network of European destinations as well as long-haul flights. There are several ways to reach the venue in Tulln from the airport, the best one is by train. After entering the Arrivals hall from the baggage claim area, turn right for the ÖBB train station to Vienna. Go down to level -1 and follow the signs. Take a train to Hauptbahnhof Wien (Vienna main train station)! The ride takes about 15 minutes. The ticket costs € 8,60. There are also direct trains from Vienna Airport to Tullnerfeld where you have to change trains to go to Tulln/Donau (see page 2). If you stay in a hotel in Vienna, you may take also a Vienna Airport Bus to different places in the city for € 8,00 https://www.viennaairportlines.at/en/ The most expensive option is the CAT https://www.cityairporttrain.com/en/home (€ 19,00)
Tulln: from the train station to the Institute Follow the line on the map. The institute is at 10 min by walking. The building named Universitäts und Forschungszentrum Tulln is in Konrad Lorenz Straße 24.
