Infections with pathogens listed as potential bioterrorism agents in the Netherlands, 2009−2019. A) Absolute numbers for most pathogens. No cases of infection with Burkholderia mallei, variola major virus (smallpox), or Yersinia pestis were reported. B) Coxiella burnetii is shown on a logarithmic scale to accommodate the high incidence during the Q fever epidemic of 2007‒2010. Complete data are shown in Table 2.
