In Southeast Asian countries, few reports are available on the incidence of
yersiniosis [7, 8].
The presence of strains harboring all of these virulence genes in Brazil is a potential threat to young children and immunocompromised individuals, for whom
yersiniosis can represent a significant source of morbidity and mortality.
Mesenteric lymphadenitis has also been observed in the context of well-defined zoonotic infections such as
yersiniosis (caused either by Yersinia enterocolitica or by Yersinia pseudotuberculosis) and nontyphoidal Salmonella infection.
Erythema nodosum can accompany arthritis in patients with sarcoidosis (13), histoplasmosis (14), coccidiomycosis (15),
yersiniosis (16), and Chlamydia pneumonia (17).
pseudotuberculosis, are the most common causative agents of
Yersiniosis, a self-limiting gastrointestinal disease which is transmitted via the faecal oral-route (1-3).
A suite of chapters then discuss specific vaccinations against vibriosis, furunculosis, photobacteriosis, enteric septicemia,
yersiniosis, streptococcosis and lactococcosis, piscirickettsiosis, bacterial kidney disease, Flavobacteriaceae, viral hemorrhagic septicemia and necrosis, infectious pancreatic necrosis, infectious salmon anemia, koi herpesvirus disease, Salmonid alphavirus, and Betanodavirus.

To our knowledge, this is the first case of
yersiniosis to be reported in Puerto Rico.
In a previous unpublished study by TPH (2011) for cases reported from 2006-2009, 1.7% of all (includes Campylobacter enteritis, amebiasis, giardiasis,
yersiniosis) LRE cases reported working in sensitive occupations (i.e., health care, food preparation, or in a daycare centre).

yersiniosis.
