The seasonal distribution of foodborne illnesses has implications for public health and food safety. During summer, the risk of bacterial and parasitic infections increases due to higher temperatures and food handling practices associated with outdoor activities. Pathogens like Salmonella, Campylobacter, and Vibrio are more likely to cause severe illness, particularly in vulnerable populations such as older adults, pregnant individuals, and those with weakened immune systems. In winter, norovirus dominates, leading to widespread outbreaks that can strain healthcare systems. Understanding these patterns is crucial for targeted prevention and response strategies.
