Mandatory notification of listeriosis began in France in 1999. Enhanced public health surveillance, including routine molecular characterisation of Listeria monocytogenes strains, epidemiologic follow up of cases, and collection of food samples, has improved the sensitivity of outbreak detection and response. The incidence of listeriosis declined from 4.5 cases/million in 1999-2000 to approximately 3.5 cases/million during the period 2001-2003. Clinical, demographic and microbiological characteristics of listeriosis in France remained stable during this time period. Maternal-fetal infections accounted for 24% of all cases. Serovar 4b accounted for 49% of cases and 60% of case clusters. The incidence of listeriosis in France has declined and is now lower than in several other European countries.
法国于1999年开始强制报告李斯特菌病。加强公共卫生监测，包括对单核细胞增生李斯特菌菌株进行常规分子特征分析、对病例进行流行病学追踪以及采集食品样本，提高了疫情检测和应对的敏感性。李斯特菌病的发病率从1999 - 2000年的每百万人口4.5例下降到2001 - 2003年期间的每百万人口约3.5例。在此期间，法国李斯特菌病的临床、人口统计学和微生物学特征保持稳定。母婴感染占所有病例的24%。血清型4b占病例的49%和病例聚集的60%。法国李斯特菌病的发病率有所下降，目前低于其他几个欧洲国家。
