Cover Story: Alien species are known to easily become established in urban habitats and therefore in immediate proximity of humans and pets. The Egyptian goose Alopochen aegyptiaca (EG) represents a fast-spreading species in Europe, North America and Asia. This avian neozoan prefers urban habitats such as parks, urban ponds and public swimming pools. Increased environmental EG faecal contamination in cities brings up the question of potential anthropozoonotic pathogen spill-overs to humans, including Salmonella. Anseriformes are able to act as a natural host reservoir of Salmonella spp. but also to multiply Serovars of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica. Thus, the survival of S. Anatum in spiked EG droppings was tested in chlorinated swimming pool water. View this paper
