To assess the roles of specific pathogens, temporal trends, and exposure pathways, we summarized AGE outbreak data submitted through NORS during the first 2 years after implementation of the system.
In the second follow-up season, an extensive waterborne AGE outbreak occurred in Nokia, a town close to Tampere.
Because the AGE outbreak surveillance was launched quite recently, the specimens from 11 outbreaks were not able to be obtained for sequencing.
