| Abstract: | Local prevalence of food poisoning is highest with Salmonella (61.2% of reported food poisoning cases, HSIU, 1989). 547 cases of salmonellosis were confirmed between the years 1986 and 1989. The local health services information unit estimates that only 10 to 15% of the actual number of food poisoning cases are reported to the health authorities. The number of cases of salmonellosis for the year 1990 and 1991, although not yet officially confirmed, shows an increased incidence over the past 4 years. Evidence in many countries indicated that eggs or egg products are involved in outbreaks of Salmonella (Rodrigue, 1990). This statement prompted this study to investigate the incidence of salmonellosis in local hens' eggs. |
