Foodborne diseases (FBDs) in the Caribbean have a high economic burden. Public health and tourism concerns rise along with the increasing number of cases and outbreaks registered over the last 20 years. Salmonella spp., Shigella spp., and Campylobacter spp. are the main bacteria associated with these incidents. In spite of undertaking limited surveillance on FBD in the region, records related to bacterial foodborne zoonoses in food-producing animals and their associated epidemiologic significance are poorly documented, giving rise to concerns about the importance of the livestock, food animal product sectors, and consumption patterns. In this review, we report the available published literature over the last 20 years on selected bacterial foodborne zoonoses in the Caribbean region and also address other food safety-related aspects (e.g., FBD food attribution, importance, surveillance), mainly aiming at recognizing data gaps and identifying possible research approaches in the animal health sector.
加勒比地区的食源性疾病（FBDs）造成了沉重的经济负担。在过去20年里，随着病例和疫情数量的不断增加，公共卫生和旅游业受到的影响也日益严重。沙门氏菌属、志贺氏菌属和弯曲杆菌属是与这些事件相关的主要细菌。尽管该地区对食源性疾病的监测有限，但有关食用动物中细菌性食源性人畜共患病及其相关流行病学意义的记录却鲜有记载，这引发了人们对畜牧业、食用动物产品部门和消费模式重要性的担忧。在本综述中，我们报告了过去20年里关于加勒比地区选定的细菌性食源性人畜共患病的已发表文献，并探讨了其他与食品安全相关的方面（如食源性疾病的食物归因、重要性、监测），主要目的是识别数据缺口，并确定动物卫生领域可能的研究方法。
