^aY: yes; N: no; A: aggregated data; C: case‐based data;‐: no report or not applicable.

^bSentinel system; notification rates calculated with estimated population coverage of 80% in 2015–2017 and 70% in 2013–2014.

^cSentinel surveillance; no information on estimated coverage so notification rate cannot be estimated.

^dSwitzerland provided data directly to EFSA. The human data for Switzerland includes data from Liechtenstein.
