Major taxonomic grouping of reptile or amphibian contact reported by sporadic locally acquired salmonellosis cases by reported Salmonella serotype for human case-patients (n = 513) in study of reptile exposure among human salmonellosis cases and Salmonella serotypes isolated from reptiles, Ontario, Canada, 2015–2022. Reptile species were not mutually exclusive (i.e., some case-patients reported contact with >1 species); thus, reptile species counts may sum to more than the number of cases reported for each serotype over the study period.
