<i>Salmonella</i> Serovar Wiki: a curated web portal providing a comprehensive summary of <i>Salmonella</i> serovars for academia, industry, and public health

<i>Salmonella</i> is a major foodborne pathogen causing substantial illness and economic burden globally. To address the lack of a centralized resource, we developed the <i>Salmonella</i> Serovar Wiki, a curated web portal providing comprehensive, serovar-specific information on more than 100 <i>Salmonella</i> serovars, including their geographical distribution, genomic characteristics, animal reservoirs, and outbreak history. Built on the Confluence platform, this Wiki consolidates data from sources such as the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed, offering a valuable tool for academia, industry, and public health professionals.IMPORTANCEBy facilitating rapid access to serovar-specific information, the <i>Salmonella</i> Serovar Wiki aids both epidemiologists and environmental health professionals in hypothesis generation, outbreak investigations, and research into understudied serovars, ultimately enhancing food safety and public health outcomes.
