Abstract
In this chapter the consequences of yersiniosis are described and include prolonged acute infections, pseudoappendicitis, and long-term sequelae such as reactive arthritis. Yersinia enterocolitica is a zoonotic bacterium that has its main reservoir within the domestic pig population. Accordingly, interventions in the meat chain are essential for protection of consumers against infection with pathogenic Y. enterocolitica. Bio/serotypes 4/O:3 and 2/O:9 are probably examples of pathogens causing a global pandemic due to export of pigs and pork from Europe to America and Asia. Some of the preventive measures against Y. enterocolitica are also valid against Yersinia pseudotuberculosis, in particular measures regarding vegetables, water, personal and kitchen hygiene and animal contact.
