Effects of climate on incidence of campylobacter spp. in humans and prevalence in broiler flocks in Denmark

Article Abstract:

The effects of temperature, precipitation, relative humidity and hours of sunlight on Campylobacter incidence in humans and broiler flocks is examine by using lag dependence functions, locally fitted linear models and cross validation methods. The combined effects of temperature and sunlight or the combined effects of temperature and relative humidity predicted the incidence in human equally well.

Use of multilocus sequence typing to investigate the association between the presence of campylobacter spp. In broiler drinking water and campylobacter colonization in broilers

Article Abstract:

The presence of campylopbacters in broiler chickens and throughout the broiler water delivery systems of 12 farms in northeastern Scotland was investigated by sensitive enrichment methods and large-volume filtration. The data provide evidence that drinking water could be associated with broiler infection by campylobacters.

Quantifying transmission of Campylobacter spp. among broilers

Article Abstract:

A study aims to quantify the transmission of Camplyobacter spp. strain within broiler flocks. Camplyobacter species are frequently identified as a cause of human gastroenteritis, often from eating or mishandling contaminated poultry products.
