Poultry as a host for the zoonotic pathogen Campylobacter jejuni.

摘要: Campylobacteriosis is the most reported foodborne gastroenteritic disease and poses a serious health burden in industrialized countries. Disease humans mainly caused by zoonotic pathogen Campylobacter jejuni. Due to its wide-spread occurrence environment, epidemiology of remains poorly understood. It generally accepted, however, that chickens are natural host for jejuni, spp. general, colonized broiler chicks primary vector transmitting this humans. Several potential sources vectors C. jejuni flocks have been identified. Initially, one or few broilers can become at an age >2 weeks until end rearing, after which infection will rapidly spread throughout entire flock. Such flock slaughter infected birds carry very high load their gastrointestinal tract, especially ceca. This eventually results contaminated carcasses during processing, transmit Recent genetic typing studies showed chicken isolates frequently be linked human clinical cases enteritis. However, despite increasing evidence reservoir number risk factor humans, no effective strategy exists reduce Campylobachter prevalence poultry flocks, part explained incomplete understanding flocks. As result, campylobacteriosis associated with strikingly high.
