[Epidemiology of the spread of salmonellosis in the region of Bari].

Three researches undertaken in Bari, with the aim of clarifying the epidemiological circles that determine the typhoid and paratyphoid endemia as well as the so-called salmonellosis minor, are reported here. The results obtained confirm the important role that eating shellfishes plays in spreading of typhoid cases in a sea-town like Bari. Furthermore, data obtained showed that the importing mechanism of infected animals, and then the slaughter-houses and the butcheries , are accounting for spreading of exotic Salmonellae in our country.
