“…While the spike in cases was noted in August (weeks [33][34][35][36], cases with onset dates from July -September were included as the outbreak cases to account for any earlier or later exposures or reporting. When the months of July (N=10), August (N=26) and September (N=12) were combined, a total of 48 suspect outbreak cases were included in the analyses.…”

Background: Investigating foodborne outbreaks is a resource and time-intensive process using traditional casecontrol methodology. The use of case-case studies in outbreak investigations is not well studied, although they require fewer resources to conduct and limit selection and recall bias. In this study we investigated a cluster of Campylobacter infections using almost simultaneous case-control and case-case studies to compare results from the two methodologies.

“…This corresponds well with our observation that having dogs and especially several young dogs poses a risk for C. jejuni enteritis and ownership of cats is a risk for both C. jejuni and C. coli enteritis. Use of proton pump inhibitors has previously been associated with Campylobacter infections [16] and was identified as a risk factor for Salmonella infections in The Netherlands [27]. The neutralization of gastric acid by anti-secretory drugs may facilitate Campylobacter (and other bacteria) to survive this hostile environment.…”

“…Numerous case-control studies in the past 20 years have focused on the identification of risk factors for sporadic Campylobacter infections, of which consumption of poultry is most frequently reported [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. Other frequently reported risk factors are consumption of unpasteurized milk [14,15,20], eating in a restaurant [14,17,19,21], contact with pets, especially puppies [13,14,16,19,22,23], contact with farm animals [13,14,17,19,20,23,24] and foreign travel [13-16, 19, 21].…”

Risk factors for indigenousCampylobacter jejuniandCampylobacter coliinfections in The Netherlands: a case-control study

et al. 2010

SUMMARYA case-control study comprising 1315 Campylobacter jejuni cases, 121 Campylobacter coli cases and 3409 frequency-matched controls was conducted in The Netherlands in [2002][2003]. Risk factors for both C. jejuni and C. coli enteritis were consumption of undercooked meat and barbecued meat, ownership of cats and use of proton pump inhibitors. Consumption of chicken was a predominant risk factor for C. jejuni enteritis, but many additional risk factors were identified. Unique risk factors for C. coli infections were consumption of game and tripe, and swimming. Contact with farm animals and persons with gastroenteritis were predominant risk factors for C. jejuni enteritis in young children (0-4 years). Important risk factors for the elderly (o60 years) were eating in a restaurant, use of proton pump inhibitors and having a chronic intestinal illness. Consumption of chicken in spring, steak tartare in autumn and winter and barbecued meat in rural areas showed strong associations with C. jejuni infections. This study illustrates that important differences in risk factors exist for different Campylobacter spp. and these may differ dependent on age, season or degree of urbanization.

Zoonoses - Infections Affecting Humans and Animals

Campylobacteriosis is a frequently diagnosed disease in humans. Most infections are considered foodborne and are caused by Campylobacter jejuni and C. coli. The animal reservoirs of these Campylobacter species, and the sources and routes of transmission, are described and discussed in this chapter. Most warm-blooded animals can be colonized by Campylobacter, but avian species, and in particular poultry, are preferred hosts. Much of the world's poultry production is colonized by Campylobacter. Source attribution studies estimate that 20-40% of cases are attributed to the handling and consumption of chicken meat, while up to 80% of cases are due to Campylobacter found in the chicken reservoir. The difference suggests that routes other than through the food chain, i.e., environmental contamination, are important. The epidemiology of infections in humans differs between industrialized and low-and middle-income countries. Thus, the most effective interventions would be targeted to primary production. To date, only improved biosecurity is available. If effectively implemented, strict biosecurity can reduce the number of Campylobacter-positive flocks, but implementation to this level has proved difficult for the poultry industry. Available interventions in chicken processing plants can substantially reduce Campylobacter numbers on carcasses and consequently reduce the risk to humans. Public health strategies therefore utilize control programs, which aim at reducing the level of Campylobacter by measures along the food chain. It is now recognized that commercially acceptable complementary interventions for primary production, such as vaccines and feed additives, are urgently needed. Once Campylobacter in poultry is controlled then other minor sources of Campylobacter including contaminated drinking water, direct contact with (pet) animals, and other food items (e.g., red meat and milk) can be addressed.
