“…During the winter months, the number of NTS cases in WaM has stabilized since 2007 at a level of 5–15 cases per 100,000 people per month; however, in summer, from 2008 onward, the number was about six times higher than that in winter with outbreaks of the disease in 2011 and 2013 (Figure 4). NTS infections by Polish food in France in 2014 occurred in seasons where higher temperatures favor the spread of bacterial diseases [12,28,29,30,31,32]. An increase in gastrointestinal bacterial infections in months with higher temperatures was observed globally, in Poland’s immediate neighbor, Latvia, as well as in countries outside of the EU, namely in the USA, Canada, and Australia [10,33,34,35].…”
