*pop., population ×106; IST, incidence of S. Typhimurium per 105 population. †Most patients in these countries were infected abroad. ‡Data on S. Typhimurium and incidence are based on data from the new federal states of Germany and the city of Berlin. §Submission of strains for serotyping at the central laboratory was not compulsory in Switzerland at the time of data collection. As a result an incidence rate for Switzerland is not presented. ¶Incidence is based on data from 2000. #According to the United Nations classification, Israel belongs to the western Asian region. In this study, Israel has been grouped with southern European countries.
