“…In addition, outbreaks caused by Vibrio paraolyticus have involved meat and meat products, multiple foods and mixed foods, mainly due to cross-contamination. Another factor that affected the occurrence of Vibrio parahaemolyticus outbreaks is the location of food consumption, which was similar to a study on Campylobacter outbreaks [ 24 ]. Given that outbreaks caused by Vibrio parahaemolyticus mainly occurred in catering service units (93.10%, 216/232), we believe that enhanced regulation and specific training for managers and chefs in catering service units could significantly reduce outbreaks caused by Vibrio parahaemolyticus .…”

Background Foodborne diseases are a major cause of morbidity and mortality and a major public health problem worldwide. We aim to explore characteristics of foodborne disease outbreaks (FBDOs) in Zhejiang Province and to provide data support for foodborne disease prevention and control. To our knowledge, few such analyses have been published at the provincial level. Methods Descriptive statistical methods were used to analyze the data reported by centers for disease control (CDC) at all levels in Zhejiang Province through Foodborne Disease Outbreaks Surveillance System (FDOSS) during 2015–2020. Results A total of 962 FBDOs were reported during this period, resulting in 8324 illnesses, 1028 hospitalizations, and 20 deaths. The number of outbreaks (410 outbreaks, 42.62%) and cases (4991 cases, 59.96%) caused by bacteria were the largest, followed by poisonous mushrooms (157 outbreaks, 587 cases), which was the main cause of death (15 deaths, 75%). The highest number of FBDOs occurred in households (381 outbreaks, 39.60%), followed by restaurants (219 outbreaks, 22.77%) and canteens (174 outbreaks, 18.08%). Animal-based foods were the most common single food reported (232 outbreaks, 24.12%), followed by poisonous mushrooms (162 outbreaks, 16.84%), and plant-based foods (133 outbreaks, 13.83%). Poisonous mushrooms took the first place in outbreaks in households (38.32%, 146/381), while bacteria took the first place in outbreaks outside households. Vibrio parahaemolyticus was responsible for the largest number of outbreaks (232 outbreaks, 24.12%), which mainly occurred in catering service units (93.10%, 216/232). Different types of bacteria tended to be found in different food categories, such as Vibrio parahaemolyticus, which was mainly found in aquatic products. Conclusions Analysis of FBDOs can provide insight into the most important pathogens and sources of foodborne disease, helping authorities identify high-risk etiologies, high-risk foods, and high-risk settings to guide policies that would reduce FBDOs.

“… Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli are two of the leading causes of foodborne gastroenteritis and are recognized to be transmitted mainly from poultry meat worldwide ( 1 , 2 ). In Japan, a total of 154 foodborne campylobacteriosis cases has been reported, which represented 20.2% of the overall annual foodborne cases (764 cases) in 2021 ( 3 ).…”

“…The illness is characterized by watery or bloody diarrhea, fever, vomiting, and stomach cramps, and other self-limiting gastrointestinal disorders [11]. However, various systemic infections, such as acute colitis and appendicitis, septic thrombophlebitis, endocarditis, neonatal sepsis, pneumonia, and bloodstream infections may also occur.…”

“…In small group of patients, Campylobacter species can cause other extra-gastrointestinal infections such as brain abscesses, meningitis, lung infections, and reactive arthritis [12]. Campylobacter jejuni is the most frequently reported agent of campylobacteriosis, although other species such as Campylobacter coli, Campylobacter concisus, Campylobacter upsaliensis, Campylobacter ureolyticus, Campylobacter hyointestinalis and Campylobacter sputorum can be associated with such infection [11].…”

The incidence of the most common foodborne outbreaks reported by the European Food Safety Authority and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control during the years 2015–2019 is described. Campylobacter spp., Salmonella spp., Listeria monocytogenes, and Yersinia enterocolitica are the investigated microorganisms, and symptomatology, food categories responsible for human disease, as well as some prevention measures are the most important information schedules supplied to the readers. Campylobacteriosis and salmonellosis are the most common zoonoses with a notification rate of 59.7 and 20.0 per 100,000 population, respectively, in the year 2019. Good hygienic practices both at farm and domestic level could prevent such infections. The highest number of deaths is reported for listeriosis, corresponding to 31 fatal events in the year 2019. Therefore, awareness of the hazards linked to L. monocytogenes is particularly recommended amongst high-risk groups. By contrast, most cases of yersiniosis are sporadic and the most important prophylactic measures include adequate sanitation in pork chain, personnel hygiene, and protection of water supplies.
