Abstract
The importance of pigs as the major Y. e. 0:3 reservoir is strengthened by the Danish investigations. Y.e. 0:3 is the only cause of yersiniosis in Denmark, and approximately 800 cases are recorded yearly. Approximately 10% of the Danish population harbour the HLAB27 factor, thus belonging to the high-potential risk group. In order to minimize the population's risk, important preventive measures by changing the slaughtering technique have now been taken.
