Changing Patterns of Human Campylobacteriosis, England and Wales, 1990–2007

To explore hypotheses for age-related changes in the incidence of Campylobacter infections in England and Wales during 1990-2007, we analyzed electronic laboratory data.

Smoking patterns accounted for much of the increased risk for classes I...
