Eisenstein et al. (2025) interpreted their study as follows. "Interpretation: Animal contact outbreaks of enteric disease reported through ACOSS provide insights into the animals and etiologies causing outbreak-associated enteric illnesses as well as other outbreak characteristics, such as settings in which outbreaks occur. These findings can guide public health actions, developed in collaboration with specific populations (e.g., backyard poultry owners) and including interventions tailored to settings, such as private homes and farms or dairies, that are more commonly associated with animal contact outbreaks. The high proportion of outbreaks occurring in private homes identifies a potential gap in proper hygiene and enteric disease prevention knowledge among animal owners, including owners of backyard poultry, which might be considered by owners to be pets rather than livestock. Settings and populations linked to ruminants, poultry, and turtles (particularly cattle, backyard poultry, and small turtles, respectively) are important targets for public health interventions because of the high number of outbreaks and outbreak-associated illnesses associated with these animal sources. Furthermore, the disproportionate impact of multistate outbreaks reiterates the importance of a collaborative national response but also might reflect limited resources to investigate or report animal contact outbreaks at state and local levels."
