Linked seasonal outbreaks of Salmonella Typhimurium among passerine birds, domestic cats and humans, Sweden, 2009 to 2016
Included isolates were identified by MLVA as part of a non-clonal multi-species outbreak of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium in Sweden in the spring of 2016. Food shortages triggering short-range mass migration of passerine birds (siskins, redpolls, bullfinches) certain years causes synchronized outbreaks of salmonellosis among the birds, outdoor cats, and humans.
