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
