FoodNet Surveillance and Statistics

Incidence Rates, 1999-2007 - E. coli O157:H7 Infection

The graph above is a visual representation of the changes over time in the incidence of E. coli O157:H7 infection in the NYSEIP FoodNet catchment area. Each point on the line represents the rate per 100,000 persons for that year, starting in 1999 through to 2007. The solid line on the graph represents the national goal (Healthy People 2010 Objective) of reaching an incidence rate of 1 case per 100,000 persons by the year 2010. Rates in the NYSEIP FoodNet catchment area have declined since 1999 and but are yet to reach the Healthy People 2010 objective for E. coli O157:H7 infection.
