Occurrence of “reptile-exotic-pet-associated-salmonellosis” serovars in children less than 3 years-old in the European Union, 2007–2010. Salmonella Arizona includes subspecies IIIa and subspecies IIIb. Arrows indicate where REPAS cases have increased in 2010 compared to previous years. Reproduced from Pees M, Rabsch W, Plenz B, Fruth A, Prager R, Simon S, Schmidt V, Münch S, Braun PG.
