FoodNet is an active surveillance program that collects data on 9 laboratory-confirmed pathogens from 10 sites in the United States: 7 states (Connecticut, Georgia, Maryland, Minnesota, New Mexico, Oregon, and Tennessee) and certain counties in California, Colorado, and New York. Kendall et al analyzed infections reported in this network from 2004-2009 that were considered to be travel-associated and compared them to infections in non-travelers; they also estimated risks according to travel destination.
