The burden of foodborne disease is not well defined in many countries or regions or on a global level. The World Health Organization (WHO), in conjunction with other national public health agencies, is coordinating a number of international activities designed to assist countries in the strengthening of disease surveillance and to determine the burden of acute gastroenteritis. These data can then be used to estimate the following situations: (1) the burden associated with acute gastroenteritis of foodborne origin, (2) the burden caused by specific pathogens commonly transmitted by food, and (3) the burden caused by specific foods or food groups. Many of the scientists collaborating with the WHO on these activities have been involved in quantifying the burden of acute gastroenteritis on a national basis. This article reviews these key national studies and the international efforts that are providing the necessary information and technical resources to derive national, regional, and global burden of disease estimates.
在许多国家、地区乃至全球范围内，食源性疾病的负担尚未得到明确界定。世界卫生组织（WHO）正与其他国家公共卫生机构合作，协调开展一系列国际活动，旨在协助各国加强疾病监测，并确定急性肠胃炎的负担情况。这些数据随后可用于估计以下情形：（1）食源性急性肠胃炎相关的负担；（2）通常通过食物传播的特定病原体所造成的负担；（3）特定食物或食物类别所造成的负担。许多与WHO合作开展这些活动的科学家都参与了在国家层面量化急性肠胃炎负担的工作。本文回顾了这些关键的国家研究以及国际上为得出国家、区域和全球疾病负担估计数而提供必要信息和技术资源的努力。
