    On 24 October 2022, the Norwegian Food Safety Authority published the monitored 2021 Zoonotic Disease Report, summarizing available data on the incidence of specific zoonotic diseases reported in humans and animals, as well as surveillance programmes
    for the incidence of zoonotic diseases in live animals, animal products and food.
    From the report, the occurrence of zoonotic pathogens in most animals in 2021 is stable
    .
    The decline in human morbidity is likely due to travel and infection control measures
    in the context of the 2020 and 2021 coronavirus epidemics.
    Campylobacter, salmonellosis, and Escherichia coli (EHEC/VTEC) infections experienced the largest
    declines.
    The main contents of the report are as follows: (1) A total of 390 human
    cases of Salmonella infection were reported in 2021.
    The number of reported cases decreased in 2020 and 2021 compared to the years before the COVID-19 pandemic; (2) A total of 2055 cases of Campylobacter human infection were reported in 2021, of which 1196 were infected
    in Norway.
    The location of infection in 636 of these cases is unknown; (3) In 2021, the number of human listeria infections (20 cases) was lower than in previous years
    .
    Of these, 14 cases were infected in Norway; (4) In 2021, the number of reported cases of human E.
    coli infection was 438, compared to 331 in
    2020.
    The number of cases of developing HUS remains low (2 cases of 10 to 10 cases per year).

    Of the 2021 cases, 59% were diagnosed with low-virulence VTEC
    In addition, there is surveillance for zoonotic diseases such as tuberculosis, brucella infection, and Toxoplasma infection
    .
