The SafePork conference series began in 1996 to bring together international researchers, industry, and government agencies to discuss current Salmonella research and identify research needs pertaining to both pig and pork production. In subsequent years topics of research presented at these conferences expanded to include other chemical and biological hazards to pig and pork production.

Abstract
The Enter-Vet net was established in 2002 in Italy, with the aim of collecting data at national level on Salmonella isolatton from samples of animal origin. The Enter-Vet net consists of the laboratones of lstttull Zooprofilatlici Spenmentali with the supervisron of the National Reference Laboratory for Salmonella (NRL). The laboratones send to the NRL data on salmonella strains typed, together with Enteritidis and Typhimurium strains for phage typing. Data collected are sent to the Italian partner of Enter-Net (the European network for surveillance of human enteric infection) on a regular basis A national database has been set up with the arm of collecting and organizing data and a report summarising the results is published annually (reports can be downloaded from the web site www.tzsvenezte.tt).
