Zoonoses are diseases or infections that are transmissible from animals to humans. The infection can be acquired directly from animals, or through ingestion of contaminated foodstuffs. The gravity of these diseases in humans can vary from mild symptoms to life threatening conditions.

In 2006, twenty-four Member States submitted information on the occurrence of zoonoses, zoonotic agents, antimicrobial resistance and food-borne outbreaks to the European Commission and EFSA. Further information on zoonoses cases in humans was acquired from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC). The information covered 17 diseases. Assisted by its Zoonoses Collaboration Centre, EFSA and ECDC jointly analysed the information and published the results in this annual Community Summary Report. In addition, six countries that were not EU Member States provided information on zoonoses for the report.

Zoonoses country reports 2006

National zoonoses country reports are used as a basis for the EFSA 2nd ECDC Community Summary Report on Trends and Sources of Zoonoses, Zoonotic Agents, Antimicrobial resistance and Foodborne Outbreaks in the European Union in 2006. The information given covers both zoonoses that are important for the public health in the whole European Community as well as zoonoses, which are relevant on the basis of the national epidemiological situation. The reports include information reported regarding animals, food, feedingstuffs and foodborne outbreaks. The information on zoonoses cases in humans was received from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC).
