Scientists have estimated the economic impact of Salmonella Dublin infections on dairy farms in Denmark. University of Copenhagen researchers examined Salmonella Dublin across all Danish dairy farms over a 10-year period. A national eradication plan was launched in 2008. The current infection rate is estimated to be around 5 percent of Danish cattle herds, down from 20 to 25 percent in 2008. Human infection can occur via contact with animals as well as through consuming unpasteurized, raw dairy products and undercooked meat.
