OzFoodNet quarterly report, 1 July to 30 September 2014

Abstract

The Australian Government Department of Health established the OzFoodNet network in 2000 to nationally collaborate the investigation of foodborne disease. In each Australian state and territory, OzFoodNet epidemiologists investigate outbreaks of enteric infection. In addition, OzFoodNet conducts studies on the burden of illness and coordinates national investigations into outbreaks of foodborne disease. This quarterly report documents investigations of foodborne or suspected foodborne disease outbreaks, as well as clusters of disease potentially related to food. These investigations commenced in Australia between 1 July and 30 September 2014.
