European report warns of the rise of ‘zoonoses’: “Never before have so many cases of listeriosis since the start of measurements”

Never before – since measurements started in 2007 – have there been so many cases of the serious infectious disease listeriosis in Europe. The European Center for Disease Prevention and Control reports this in their new zoonosis report. HLN science expert Martijn Peters explains what a zoonotic disease is, which ones most often enter our body, through which route and how you can best avoid infection. “You better be careful with this zoonosis if you like fondue or table grill during the holidays.”
