Indtoduction - Emerging zoonoses

6 important questions on Indtoduction - Emerging zoonoses

How can the burden of foodborne diseases be ranked?

1. Multicriteria Decision Analyses (weighing of values)
2. Disease Burden Estimation (DALY = YLL+YLD)

What is the burden of toxoplasmosis in NL?

1903 DALYs per year, mostly congenital
In NL we don't have screening programs so we don't know exact numbers

Which type of meat contribute most to toxo in NL?

Beef, because we eat a lot and often raw. A lot of sheep are infected because they graze outside. Pigs are very susceptible but they are kept inside.
