Food- and waterborne disease (FWD) outbreaks in European Member States are important causes of morbidity and economic loss because of their frequent occurrence and occasional severity. Well conducted investigations of such outbreaks are important in order to stop ongoing outbreaks and prevent re-occurrence of similar outbreaks.
