Campylobacteriosis - Annual Epidemiological Report for 2019

Since 2005, Campylobacter has been the most commonly reported gastrointestinal bacterial pathogen in humans in the EU/EEA and this was the case up to and including 2019. Although there was a significantly increasing trend in human campylobacteriosis during the period 2008–2018, for the first time in 2019 the EU/EEA trend declined to a lower level than in 2015. The geographical distribution remained consistent with previous years, and the majority of cases were reported by Czechia, Germany and the UK.
