To 21 April 1997, 944 notifications had been received, passing the previous year’s total of 915. Five outbreaks of five separate serovars have been investigated and traced to their sources. The outbreaks, their sources and the control measures undertaken are described. Further clusters of other Salmonella serovars are being investigated. Comm Dis Intell 1997;21:120-122.
