FoodNet Facts and Figures

Facts and Figures related to “Preliminary FoodNet Data on the Incidence of Infection with Pathogens Transmitted Commonly Through Food---10 States, United States, 2007” published in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) on April 11, 2008.

The Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network (FoodNet) conducts population-based surveillance in ten sites for laboratory-confirmed cases of infection caused by nine pathogens (Campylobacter, Cryptosporidium, Cyclospora, Listeria, Salmonella, Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli O157, Shigella, Vibrio, and Yersinia).  Since 2000, FoodNet has also conducted surveillance for post-diarrheal hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) in nine sites through a network of pediatric nephrologists and infection-control practitioners and a review of hospital discharge data.  

This web page is a supplement to the report titled “Preliminary FoodNet Data on the Incidence of Infection with Pathogens Transmitted Commonly Through Food --- 10 States, United States, 2007” published in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) on April 11, 2008.  To access tables and figures, click on the menu items below.  All tables and figures are in PDF format and will display in a new window.
