2008 running review of zoonotic diseases across the EU

This paper keynotes the European Community zoonoses and zoonotic infectious agents report, giving special emphasis to the salmonella infections section. Although Salmonella Enteritidis and eggs and egg products still top the list in terms of cause of zoonosis cases in humans, they are on the decline. The result is that alongside a net decrease in the total number of human cases recorded, there is an increase in the relative share of cases caused by S. typhimurium and by meat products, including pork.
