Distribution of <i>Salmonella</i> Serovars in Humans, Foods, Farm Animals and Environment, Companion and Wildlife Animals in Singapore
We analyzed the epidemiological distribution of <i>Salmonella</i> serovars in humans, foods, animals and the environment as a One-Health step towards identifying risk factors for human salmonellosis. Throughout the 2012–2016 period, <i>Salmonella</i> ser. Enteritidis was cons...
