The incidence of intestinal infectious diseases (IID) and foodborne diseases remains high and increased in 2015. The most frequent is gastroenterocolitis of unknown aetiology, followed by viral infections of the gut, which are becoming increasingly important to monitor. Among bacterial infections, Campylobacter infections prevail, followed by infections caused by Salmonella, Clostridium difficile, adenoviruses and pathogenic E.coli. The actual burden of the IID and foodborne diseases can be assessed only through research.
