Did you know that not all enteric illnesses come from food? Pathogens such as Salmonella and E. coli can also be spread to humans through contact with pets, their food, or their environments. These infections are known as enteric zoonoses, and they cause thousands of Canadians to become sick each year. This seminar will provide a summary of multi-jurisdictional enteric illness outbreaks in Canada that have been caused by contact with these sources, and dive into the key findings from a selection of outbreaks.
