Abstract
- In April 2019, a cross-border outbreak of Yersinia entercolitica O3 was identified in Sweden and Denmark and confirmed using whole genome sequencing. Close cross-border collaboration with representatives from human and food authorities helped direct resources and investigations. Combined epidemiological and trace-back investigations pointed to imported fresh spinach as the outbreak vehicle and highlight that other vehicles of Y. enterocolitica outbreaks than pork should be considered.
