Motivation: This high-quality study targets verotoxigenic Escherichia coli O157:H7 - a zoonotic pathogen of global relevance . Albeit conducted in Sweden, the study fills critical knowledge gaps of the epidemiology of this zoonosis that are of international interest. This has been made possible through combining a set of different methodologies from different disciplines. The data are very clearly presented in pedagogic and illustrative figures making the paper very enjoyable to read.
