Take a moment to read our news story on the latest annual EU #OneHealth #zoonosis report we released jointly with @ECDC_EU & answer our survey📜

The next commonly reported diseases after #campylobacteriosis and #salmonellosis were #yersiniosis (6,789 cases), infections caused by Shigatoxin-producing E. coli (6,084 cases), and #listeriosis (2,183 cases).

#Campylobacteriosis remains the most frequently reported zoonosis, with the number of reported cases increasing to 127k compared to 120k in 2020.
Meat from chicken & turkeys was the most common source for the infection.

The number of outbreaks caused by #Listeria monocytogenes (23) was the highest ever reported.
This might be linked to the increased use of whole genome sequencing techniques, which allow scientists to better detect and define outbreaks.

Most foodborne outbreaks (773) were caused by #Salmonella, which accounted for 19.3% of the total.
The most common sources of #salmonellosis outbreaks were eggs, egg products, and “mixed foods”. It affected 60k people compared to 52k in 2020.

The general drop compared to pre-pandemic years in reported cases and outbreaks is probably linked to #COVID19 control measures, which were still in place in 2021.
Among the few exceptions are #yersiniosis & foodborne #listeriosis outbreaks, which exceeded pre-pandemic levels.

RT @nicolasberrod: L'@ECDC_EU fait le point sur la hausse des infections invasives à streptocoques du groupe A, "probablement associée à l'augmentation récente de la circulation des virus respiratoires", avec plusieurs décès.
A ce jour, le risque pour la population générale est jugé "faible".

RT @WHO_Europe: @hans_kluge calls on countries to increase vigilance to invasive Group A streptococcal (iGAS) disease cases, especially when respiratory viruses are widely circulating in children.

#RSV infections at this time of the year are not unusual, but they are higher & earlier compared to pre-pandemic times.
The EU/EEA countries are also experiencing an early #influenza season and a possible resurgence of #COVID19 after weeks of decline in cases & hospitalisations.

Rapid Risk Assessment: Intensified circulation of respiratory syncytial virus (#RSV) and associated hospital burden in the EU/EEA.
🐦🔗: https://n.respublicae.eu/ECDC_EU/status/1602397490698981376
All European countries should be vigilant for a similar rise in cases in children, considering, in particular, the increase in respiratory virus circulation that is now occurring across Europe.

It is likely that the increase of #iGAS cases is associated with the heightened circulation of respiratory viruses, including seasonal #influenza & respiratory syncytial virus (#RSV), as coinfection of viruses with #StrepA may increase the risk of invasive disease (iGAS).
🐦🔗: https://n.respublicae.eu/ECDC_EU/status/1602350974999437313
During the same period, several deaths associated with #iGAS in children less than 10 years of age have also been reported. The increase has been several-fold higher than pre-pandemic levels for the equivalent period of time.

A number of European countries (IE, FR, NL, ES, SE and UK) indicate an increase seen during 2022, particularly since September, in the number of cases of invasive Group A Streptococcus (#iGAS) disease among children less than ten years of age.
