Netherlands 2007 Report on trends and sources of zoonoses
Netherlands 2007
PREFACEThis report is submitted to the European Commission in accordance with Article 9 of Council Directive 2003/ 99/ EC1. The information has also been forwarded to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). The report contains information on trends and sources of zoonoses and zoonotic agents in Netherlands duringthe year 2007. The information covers the occurrence of these diseases and agents in humans, animals,foodstuffs and in some cases also in feedingstuffs. In addition the report includes data on antimicrobialresistance in some zoonotic agents and commensal bacteria as well as information on epidemiologicalinvestigations of foodborne outbreaks. Complementary data on susceptible animal populations in the country isalso given. The information given covers both zoonoses that are important for the public health in the whole EuropeanCommunity as well as zoonoses, which are relevant on the basis of the national epidemiological situation. The report describes the monitoring systems in place and the prevention and control strategies applied in thecountry. For some zoonoses this monitoring is based on legal requirements laid down by the CommunityLegislation, while for the other zoonoses national approaches are applied. The report presents the results of the examinations carried out in the reporting year. A national evaluation of theepidemiological situation, with special reference to trends and sources of zoonotic infections, is given.Whenever possible, the relevance of findings in foodstuffs and animals to zoonoses cases in humans isevaluated. The information covered by this report is used in the annual Community Summary Report on zoonoses that ispublished each year by EFSA.

2. INFORMATION ON SPECIFIC ZOONOSES AND ZOONOTICAGENTS
Zoonoses are diseases or infections, which are naturally transmissible directly or indirectly between animals andhumans. Foodstuffs serve often as vehicles of zoonotic infections. Zoonotic agents cover viruses, bacteria,fungi, parasites or other biological entities that are likely to cause zoonoses.

2.1.6. Salmonella serovars and phagetype distribution
The methods of collecting, isolating and testing of the Salmonella isolates are described in the chapters aboverespectively for each animal species, foodstuffs and humans. The serotype and phagetype distributions can beused to investigate the sources of the Salmonella infections in humans. Findings of same serovars andphagetypes in human cases and in foodstuffs or animals may indicate that the food category or animal species inquestion serves as a source of human infections. However as information is not available from all potentialsources of infections, conclusions have to be drawn with caution.

History of the disease and/ or infection in the country
Rabies is only found in bats (EBLvirus). In the Netherlands a VWAprotocol is used for direct andindirect contact of humans and pets with bats. In these cases bats are euthanised and tested for rabiesat the CVI in Lelystad. Humans or pets which have direct contact with a bat are vaccinate when thebat is found positive for EBLVvirus in the test.

5. FOODBORNE OUTBREAKS
Foodborne outbreaks are incidences of two or more human cases of the same disease or infection where thecases are linked or are probably linked to the same food source. Situation, in which the observed human casesexceed the expected number of cases and where a same food source is suspected, is also indicative of afoodborne outbreak.
A. Foodborne outbreaks
System in place for identification, epidemological investigations and reporting offoodborne outbreaks
In the Netherlands, two authorities are involved in investigations of foodborne outbreaks: the nationalfood safety authority (VWA) and the municipal public health services (GGD). Doctors are legally obliged to report foodborne outbreaks (defined as 2 or more persons ill within 24hours who have consumed the same food) to the GGD and to report individual cases of foodbornediseases if they work in the food preparation or as a caretaker. The GGD is reponsible for theepidemiological investigation of these reports and for the reporting of these cases to the RIVM(national institute of public health and the environment). Reports to the RIVM are realtime.Consumers who think they have become ill due to food consumption can use a special telephone lineto report their illness to the VWA. The VWA is responsible for the investigation of food implied.They visit the place where food is prepared and take samples for microbiological investigation. TheVWA report these incidents to the RIVM. Reports to the RIVM are usually done about 2 months afterthe incident.Thus, the GGDs are focussed on the human cases and the epidemiological investigation and the VWAis focussed on the microbiological investigation of food. Reports from GGDs are notifiable, butreports from the VWA are voluntary. In foodborne outbreaks with large numbers of cases both VWAand GGD are involved in the investigation.In previous years, only foodborne outbreaks reported by the GGD have been reported to EFSA,because these reports have a legal basis and in most reported outbreaks a causative agent was found insamples from patients. Reports of the VWA were not reported to the EFSA, because these reports arebased on voluntary reports of consumers and in most of these incidents a causative agent in foodcould not be found. However, now that EFSA uses special definitions for verified and possibleoutbreaks, in the current report over 2007, also VWAreports are included. Most of them are possible,but foodborne outbreaks where a causative agent in food was found, are mentioned as verifiedoutbreaks. Outbreaks in which both VWA and GGD were involved have been reported once (althoughin the national surveillance these are reported twice: once by the VWA and once by the GGD).Therefore, the report over 2007 includes (many) more foodborne outbreaks than in previous years
Description of the types of outbreaks covered by the reporting:
Both in the VWAreports and in the GGDreports, foodborne outbreaks in which the food wasconsumed in a restaurant or other outdoor facility are mostly reported. In GGDreports, mostly largeoutbreaks (with a high number of cases) are reported. Defition for reporting of foodborne outbreaks by the GGD: 2 or more persons that have become ill witin 24 hours who have consumed the same foodIn 2008, this definition will be changed into: 2 of more persons with the same illness who have consumed the same food.
Netherlands 2007 Report on trends and sources of zoonoses
Netherlands 2007 134
For the reporting of foodborne outbreaks by the VWA there is no definition used. The VWA report allincidents that are reported by consumers. To EFSA only those incidents with 2 or more persons ill arereported (whereas in the national surveillance also invidual illness is reported).Causative agents in the GGDreports are mainly Salmonella, Norovirus and Campylobacter (becausethese are the agents that cause illness in humans and can be found in (fecal) samples). Causativeagents in the VWAreports are mainly Bacillus cereus and Staphylococcus aureus (because these arethe agents that are mainly found in food samples taken). In VWAreports Norovirus is sometimesfound in environmental samples (for example a swab from the handle of the refrigerator), butaccording to the definitions used by EFSA, these incidents should not be reported as verified.Therefore, these incidents are reported as possible, unless epidemiological evidence exists thatNorovirus was the cause of the outbreak.
National evaluation of the reported outbreaks in the country:
Trends in numbers of outbreaks and numbers of human cases involved
In 2007, the number of incidents reported by the VWA increased from 530 in 2006 to 621 in2007 (these incidents include reports of individual cases and foodborne outbreaks) and morepatients were involved (1723 in total, in 2006: 1329 patients). Of these incidents, 315 werefoodborne outbreaks (295 in 2006).The number of incidents reported by the GGDs remained at the same level: 44 foodborneoutbreaks in 2007 and 49 in 2006, but the number of patients involved, increased from 476 in2006 to 759 in 2007. This was mainly due to a few very large outbreaks.
Relevance of the different causative agents, food categories and the agent/ foodcategory combinations
VWAreports: of the 315 foodborne outbreaks reported by the VWA, a causative agent wasfound in 9% (29 outbreaks). Just as in the previous years, Bacillus cereus and Staphylococcusaureus were the agents that were mostly found. In 2006, in 11% of the outbreaks, a causativeagent was found. The food products in which a causative agent could be found were mainlyrice/ chinese dishes, such as fried rice or fried noodles (with vegetables and/ or meat). In someincidents a causative agent was found in more than one food product.GGDreports: in 77% of the foodborne outbreaks, a causative agent was found (34 outbreaks).Salmonella was mostly found (16 outbreaks, 36%), followed by Campylobacter (10 outbreaks,23%) and Norovirus (7 outbreaks, 16%). Foods implied were mostly unknown or wellknownrisk products were reported (such as eggs for S. Enteritidis). In some instances (especially inlarge outbreaks) an epidemiological investigation was done (these are reported as verifiedoutbreaks).
Relevance of the different type of places of food production and preparation inoutbreaks
Both in the VWAreports and in the GGDreports, restaurants are the main place of foodproduction in outbreaks. Outbreaks where food has been prepared in a private home are largelyunderreported. In 58% of the VWAreports (all reports including individual cases (n=621)) andin 43% of the foodborne outbreaks reported by the GGD, the food implied was prepared in arestaurant.Snack bars were reported in 17% of the VWAreports, a shop (such as a supermarket, bakery,
Netherlands 2007 Report on trends and sources of zoonoses
Netherlands 2007 135
or butcher were reported in 14% of the reports, the home in 3% and an institution in 1%.In GGDreports: in 27% the home was reported, in 7% an institution and in 16% other(including supermarkets or other shops, farms, etc.).
Evaluation of the severity and clinical picture of the human cases
Of the patients involved in the VWAreports, 80% had diarrhea and 75% vomiting. Of the patients involved in the GGDreports of foodborne outbreaks, 115 were hospitalised. Inprevious years, the number of hospitalised patients was much lower (27 in 2006). This highnumber of hospitalisations was due to a large outbreak in the eastern part of the Netherlandswith 225 patients, of which 62 were hospitalised. This outbreak was caused by cheese producedat a local farm. Furthermore in an outbreak involving 37 children, all children were hospitalised(mainly as a precaution measure). These childeren were at a scouts camp and consumed waterthat was provided by a local farmer.
Descriptions of single outbreaks of special interest
Single outbreaks of special interest in 2007: outbreak in the eastern part of the country, which started already in the beginning of 2006.About 225 patients were identified with S. Typhimurium FT560, 62 were hospitalised. Theoutbreak was caused by cheese produced at a local farm. outbreak of Clostridium perfringens: about 180200 patients were identified. The causativeagent was found in multiple foods consumed at a buffet. It was an Lftarmeal that wasorganised in a theater. Lentil soup was the probable source of infection, since this product wasprepared long before the meal and inadequately chilled. outbreak of Campylobacter jejuni: about 18 patients became ill out of a group of 23 collegeswho visited a dairy farm during a daytrip. 19 persons had consumed unpasteurised milk. outbreak in the eastern part of the country. About 26 patients were identified with S.Typhimurium FT507. The outbreak was probably caused by filet americain (stake tartar)bought in a local supermarket. outbreak of Norovirus among 37 children at a scouts camp. The outbreak was probably causedby contaminated water that was provided by a local farmer.
Control measures or other actions taken to improve the situation
The outbreak of S. Typhimurium FT 560 has been controlled by temporary closure of the farm,temporary pasteurisation of the milk used for production of the cheese and thorough cleaning ofthe farm. In other foodborne outbreaks, the outbreaks were mostly caused by a point sourcecontamination.
Suggestions to the community for the actions to be taken
Some outbreaks, especially norovirus outbreaks with large numbers of cases, are caused by aninfected food handler that worked while he was ill or started working just after he hadrecovered. This suggests that education about food safety and the risks of spreading illnesswhen working during illness is needed for food handlers.
