Potential Transmission Routes of Campylobacter from Environment to Humans
Date of Publication: August 2002
This report describes the three-year investigation of the transmission routes of human campylobacteriosis. This was achieved by investigating the prevalence of Campylobacter subtypes in environmental reservoirs. Data collected from the subtyping of Campylobacter isolates were combined with epidemiological information from human cases to test hypotheses about the relationships between Campylobacter subtypes in the environment and those associated with human campylobacteriosis.The aim of this pilot study was to advance the understanding of potential reservoirs and transmission routes to help prioritise the development of risk management strategies.
