    The incidence of human campylobacteriosis in Iceland reached epidemic proportions between June 1998 and March 2000. The epidemic was almost exclusively due to an increase in domestically acquired infections, mostly traced to the consumption of fresh chicken. Prior to 1996 it was only permitted to sell frozen poultry in food stores, but with the change of regulations fresh poultry was allowed and sales increased significantly. Interventions consisting of an educational programme for farmers, an e xtensive surveillance programme for Campylobacter in poultry, freezing all known Campylobacter-positive broiler flocks before they go to retail and extensive consumers education were implemented in the beginning of 2000. These measures have resulted in a reduction of domestic and total number of cases of campylobacteriosis between 1999 and 2001.

    An update of the H7N9 qualitative risk assessment (published in July 2017) is warranted to cover the highest avian influenza risk period (January to March 2018), during which several festivals take place and an increase in national and cross-border poultry movements is expected. This will be done in light of H7 nation-wide vaccination program implemented since September 2017 by the MoA of China.
