The report further summarises trends and sources along the food chain of tuberculosis due to Mycobacterium bovis, Brucella, Trichinella, Echinococcus, Toxoplasma, rabies, Coxiella burnetii (Q fever), West Nile virus and tularaemia.Raphael (1483 – 1520), Dame mit Einhorn (Lady with Unicorn)(Maddalena Strozzi?), Galleria Borghese (Rome), Deutsches Dokumentationszentrum für Kunstgeschichte - Bildarchiv Foto Marburg (German Documentation Centre for Art History - image archive photo Marburg) (Rechte vorbehalten - Freier Zugang) Important food vehicles in strong-evidence food-borne outbreaks were ‘eggs and egg products’, followed by ‘mixed food’ and ‘crustaceans, shellfish, molluscs and products thereof’. Most food-borne outbreaks were caused by viruses, followed by Salmonella, bacterial toxins and Campylobacter and with unknown causative agent in 29.1% of all outbreaks. A total of 5,251 food-borne outbreaks, including water-borne outbreaks, were reported. The number of confirmed verocytotoxigenic Escherichia coli (VTEC) infections in humans slightly decreased compared with 2013.
Positive findings for Yersinia were mainly reported in pig meat and products thereof. The decreasing EU trend for confirmed yersiniosis cases since 2008 continued. In ready-to-eat foods Listeria seldom exceeded the EU food safety limit. The numbers of human listeriosis cases further increased, since 2008. In foodstuffs, the EU-level Salmonella non-compliance in fresh and processed poultry meat was rare and low, respectively. Most MS met their Salmonella reduction targets for poultry but isolates of S. Stanley cases remained, as in 2013, at a higher level compared with 2011–2012. More human Salmonella Enteritidis cases were reported whereas the S. The decreasing EU trend for confirmed human salmonellosis cases since 2008 continued. In food the occurrence of Campylobacter remained high in broiler meat. Campylobacteriosis was the most commonly reported zoonosis with an increase in confirmed human cases in the European Union (EU) since 2008. This report of the European Food Safety Authority and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control presents the results of the zoonoses monitoring activities carried out in 2014 in 32 European countries (28 Member States (MS) and four non-MS).
