About this release
This release by Public Health Scotland (PHS) provides provisional information on laboratory reports of Gastrointestinal and Zoonotic (GIZ) pathogens in Scotland up to the end of 2023. In previous years, PHS produced separate annual reports for each organism. Since 2020, the PHS GIZ team has integrated these separate reports into a single biennial document covering the last 2 years of laboratory reports.
Data presented include general trends as well as seasonality, demographics, and incidence rates by NHS health board of residence for the main GIZ pathogens for the years 2022 and 2023. Also discussed are other zoonotic pathogens and a summary of outbreaks of infectious intestinal disease with PHS involvement in years 2022 and 2023.
Further information
This report is the second biennial GIZ report published by Public Health Scotland since it was established in April 2020.
