OzFoodNet, surveillance, foodborne diseaseAbstract
The Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing established the OzFoodNet network in 2000 to collaborate nationally to investigate foodborne disease. OzFoodNet conducts studies on the burden of illness and coordinates national investigations into outbreaks of foodborne disease.
This quarterly report is the first in a revised format, which reports on investigations of gastroenteritis outbreaks and clusters of disease potentially related to food occurring around Australia. For information on sporadic cases of foodborne illness, see Communicable Diseases Surveillance, Highlights for 3rd quarter 2003.
