    The March 17 "Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report" contains the article,
    "Preliminary FoodNet Data on the Incidence of Foodborne Illnesses --
    Selected Sites, United States, 1999"

    This report describes preliminary surveillance data for 1999 and compares
    them with data from 1996--1998. The data suggest that the incidence of the
    foodborne illnesses under surveillance declined during 1999 compared with
    1996 primarily as a result of decreases in campylobacteriosis and
    shigellosis and indicate substantial regional variation in the incidence
    of foodborne diseases

    The 1999 final FoodNet report will include incidence figures and other
    information, such as illness severity, and will be available later in 2000
    at the FoodNet site on the World-Wide Web at
    http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dbmd/foodnet
