Salmonellosis is an infection caused by the bacteria Salmonella.

-Salmonellosis is a food borne illness caused by the salmonella bacteria carried by some animals. -Salmonella can be transmitted from kitchen surfaces and can be in water, soil, animal feces, raw meats, and eggs. -Salmonella infections typically affect the intestines, causing vomiting, fever, and other symptoms. -These symptoms are usually resolved without medical treatment depending on its severity.
5
There are many different sources of infection that can cause Salmonellosis, such as: -Unclean food, like in kitchens and restaurants -Excretions from either sick or infected organisms. -Polluted surface water and standing water, such as in shower hoses or unused water dispensers -Unhygienically thawed fowl (the meltwater contains many bacteria),
6
The Salmonellosis disease has been found mostly in food(usually spoilt or unclean), So after some research, scientists have found a way to drastically reduce the number of people infected every year. In order to reduce the chance of food borne Salmonellosis, food must be cooked at 68–72°C. Liquids like soups or gravies must be boiled. It has also been concluded that freezing is not enough to kill Salmonella There has also been a discovery of a vaccine for salmonella which was found in the form of antibodies from children in Malawi.
7
It has been estimated that around 150,000 people a year contract the disease, all around the world.
8
People who are infected by Salmonella are mainly between the ages of 0-4, although this is not always the case.
