BACKGROUND Enteric pathogens are an important cause of illness, however, little is known about their community-level risk factors (e.g., socioeconomic, cultural and physical environmental conditions) in the Northwest Territories (NWT) of Canada. The objective of this study was to undertake ecological (group-level) analyses by combining two existing data sources to examine potential community-le...

Abstract: The objective of this work was to evaluate the reduction Campylobacter jejuni in chicken meat at 6 and 70°C, after inoculation a Brazilian strain. kinetics C. survival showed 0.26 log (CFU g-1) decrease for each day exposure 6°C, 1.35 1 increase 70°C. Although reduced levels were found regular intervals both temperatures, its incomplete inactivation underlines need good hygiene practi...

BACKGROUND Socioeconomic factors play a complex role in determining the risk of campylobacteriosis. Understanding the spatial interplay between these factors and disease risk can guide disease control programs. Historically, Poisson and negative binomial models have been used to investigate determinants of geographic disparities in risk. Spatial regression models, which allow modeling of spatia...

A quantitative risk assessment comprising the elements hazard identification, hazard characterization, exposure assessment, and risk characterization has been prepared to assess the effect of different mitigation strategies on the number of human cases in Denmark associated with thermophilic Campylobacter spp. in chickens. To estimate the human exposure to Campylobacter from a chicken meal and ...

Fly screens that prevented influx of flies in 20 broiler houses during the summer of 2006 in Denmark caused a decrease in Campylobacter spp.-positive flocks from 51.4% in control houses to 15.4% in case houses. A proportional reduction in the incidence of chicken-borne campylobacteriosis can be expected by comprehensive intervention against flies in broiler production houses.

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. Disease incidence was reduced among children, and the greatest increase in risk was for those >/=60 years of age. Risk factors for campylobacteriosis in the elderly population should be identified.
