TL;DR: The investigation of this cluster documents the transmission of West Nile virus by organ transplantation and suggests organ recipients receiving immunosuppressive drugs may be at high risk for severe disease after West Nileirus infection.

TL;DR: Defining these problem areas, which relies on surveillance of seafood-associated infections through outbreak and case reporting, can lead to targeted research and help to guide control efforts, will be important to assess the effectiveness of current and future prevention strategies.

TL;DR: Pregnant woman comprised a considerable proportion of reported listeria cases, and further declines in pregnancy-associated listeriosis will require education about avoiding high-risk foods, and continued regulatory and industry efforts to decrease Listeria in foods.
