Estimated Numbers of Community Cases of Illness Due to <i>Salmonella, Campylobacter</i> and Verotoxigenic <i>Escherichia Coli</i>: Pathogen‐Specific Community Rates

Abstract

The authors estimate that a significant number of infections due to VTEC, Salmonella and Campylobacter occur each year in Canada, highlighting the fact that these enteric pathogens still pose a significant health burden. Recognizing the significant amount of under-reporting is essential to designing appropriate interventions and assessing the impact of these pathogens in the population.
