Abstract

Salmonellosis is a frequently occurring disease in Europe. Through their national surveillance systems, the European Union (EU) Member States collect a substantial amount of information on cases of salmonellosis, which may be used to gain new insights into the epidemiological characteristics of the many different Salmonella serotypes. One simple approach to this is by visualising the spatial distribution of the cases on maps.
