Abstract: 1993 to 9.3% in 1996 and has since increased to 18% in 1999, 15.9% in 2001, and 7.9% in 2002.The proportion of S. Enteritidis isolates has decreased during the period from 14% to 9% in 2001 and 12.6% in 2002.The proportion of S. Anatum has varied from 4% to 10%.Salmonella (1,4,5,12:i) peaked in 1996 at 10% but has otherwise been 6%-8%.The proportion of S. Typhimurium isolates peaked in 1997 at 9%, but was 4% in 2002.An increase has been observed for S. Rissen (2% to 8%), S. Stanley (2% to 6%), S. Panama (1% to 6%), and S. Schwarzengrund (0% to 2%), while a decrease has been observed for S. Derby (11% to 3%) and S. Krefeld (4.5% to 1%).The trends of the most common serovars are shown in Figure 1.Samples have not been systematically taken from the different reservoirs for Salmonella infections in humans.However, data from samples were available from chicken, seafood, other food products, and water for all 10 years.Data from ducks were only available from 1998 to 2002.
