Aunque en los últimos años en la Unión Europea se ha observado un descenso de la incidencia de la salmonelosis asociado principalmente a la reducción del serotipo Enteritidis y gracias al éxito de los programas de control de la salmonelosis aviar, la incidencia de S. Typhimurium ha ido en aumento. El cerdo es considerado un importante reservorio de este serotipo y la segunda fuente más importante de salmonelosis en humanos en Europa. Esta obra trata en profundidad diversos aspectos relacionados con la epidemiología y el control de la salmonelosis porcina.
