Abstract

This contribution addresses the role that feral game animals, hunting practices and the marketing and distribution of game meat may play in the transmission of verotoxinogenic E. coli (VTEC) to domesticated ruminants and to humans. Recent data generated in Germany indicate that the epidemiological role of game meat in the spread of VTEC is underestimated.
