During 2000, the millennium year, 26 million people visited Rome. An improved surveillance system for infectious diseases, especially for foodborne disease outbreaks (FBDO), meningitis, and legionnaires' disease was introduced in 1997. This rapid alert network links public health services with the principal sources of diagnosis and laboratory based surveillance. For travel related legionnaires' disease, international surveillance was implemented. Specific control measures for FBDOs were adopted. No increase in the overall incidence of these diseases was observed, and no atypical pathogens in FBDOs or meningitis were isolated in 2000 relating to 1998-99. Cases of legionnaires' disease and FBDOs involving foreign tourists increased (10/4 and 7/2 observed/expected respectively). Three out of six FBDOs involving pilgrims occurred in religious guesthouses. While an increase in cases of legionnaires' disease and FBDOs among foreign tourists was observed by the surveillance system, the millennium year did not influence the epidemiology of infectious diseases in the residential population of Lazio.
2000年千禧年期间，有2600万人到访罗马。1997年引入了一个改进的传染病监测系统，特别是针对食源性疾病暴发、脑膜炎和军团病的监测系统。这个快速警报网络将公共卫生服务与主要诊断来源及基于实验室的监测联系起来。对于与旅行相关的军团病，实施了国际监测。针对食源性疾病暴发采取了具体控制措施。这些疾病的总体发病率没有增加，2000年与1998 - 1999年相比，在食源性疾病暴发或脑膜炎中未分离出非典型病原体。涉及外国游客的军团病和食源性疾病暴发病例有所增加（分别观察到/预期为10/4和7/2）。涉及朝圣者的六起食源性疾病暴发中有三起发生在宗教招待所。虽然监测系统观察到外国游客中军团病和食源性疾病暴发病例有所增加，但千禧年并未影响拉齐奥常住人口中传染病的流行病学。
