Review of the contamination and health risks related to Campylobacter spp. and Listeria monocytogenes in the food supply with special reference to Estonia and Latvia

The present study gives a review of the contamination and health risks related to Campylobacter spp. and L. monocytogenes in the Estonian and Latvian food supply. Campylobacteriosis and human listeriosis are important zoonotic diseases. Therefore, biosecurity measures at the farm level and Good Hygiene Practices at the industry level must be strictly followed. Further improvements in the state surveillance and food industry self-control systems are needed both in Estonia and Latvia.
