Hungary has released results of a Salmonella control program for the ten-year period 2007-2017 partly supported by European Union. The program focused on control of Salmonella Enteritidis (SE) and S. Typhimurium (ST) in parent-level flocks and commercial-level egg-producing hens, broilers, turkeys and hogs. In 2016 there were 4,722 cases of SE or ST with 1,745 hospitalizations and 12 fatalities. The analysis of prevalence of data showed that the program probably prevented 700,000 cases requiring 5,400 hospitalizations and thirty fatalities between 2007 and 2017 saving $100 million in direct and indirect costs to the Nation.
