“…In India, recent data from an infectious disease hospital in Kolkata reported that, in the period from January 2008 to December 2010, 7.0% (222/3,186 patients) of hospitalized patients with gastroenteritis were culture positive for Campylobacter species, with 70% of the isolates identified as C. jejuni (63). Based on real-time PCR analysis, Sinha and colleagues reported 16.2% (11/68 samples) of diarrheic stool samples from patients in the same region to be positive for Campylobacter species (64).…”

SUMMARY Campylobacter jejuni infection is one of the most widespread infectious diseases of the last century. The incidence and prevalence of campylobacteriosis have increased in both developed and developing countries over the last 10 years. The dramatic increase in North America, Europe, and Australia is alarming, and data from parts of Africa, Asia, and the Middle East indicate that campylobacteriosis is endemic in these areas, especially in children. In addition to C. jejuni , there is increasing recognition of the clinical importance of emerging Campylobacter species, including Campylobacter concisus and Campylobacter ureolyticus . Poultry is a major reservoir and source of transmission of campylobacteriosis to humans. Other risk factors include consumption of animal products and water, contact with animals, and international travel. Strategic implementation of multifaceted biocontrol measures to reduce the transmission of this group of pathogens is paramount for public health. Overall, campylobacteriosis is still one of the most important infectious diseases that is likely to challenge global health in the years to come. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the global epidemiology, transmission, and clinical relevance of Campylobacter infection.

“…The selection of reference pathogen was mainly based on the presence of an identified waterborne pathogen that occurred in India (Sharma et al 2003;Karmakar et al 2008;Chitambar et al 2011;Naik and Desai 2012;Mukherjee et al 2013). However, due to lack of specific pathogen data from the water supplies, we used indicator organisms as surrogates.…”

Quantitative microbial risk assessment (QMRA) is a valuable tool for estimating the burden of disease due to exposure of a particular microbial pathogen. In this study, we used the quantitative risk assessment method to calculate the burden of disease with special reference to gastroenteritis from three reference pathogens-Escherichia coli, Campylobacter, and Rotavirus in the drinking water treatment systems of Mysore Urban city, Karnataka, India. A total of 140 samples were analyzed over a period of 24 months in different seasons using standard methods. The risk burden was estimated by guidelines for drinking water quality (WHO in Campylobacter, factsheet no. 255, 2011a; Guidelines for drinking water quality, 2011b) method. The results show that the Mysore Urban population connected to the current drinking water treatment plant seems to be vulnerable to waterborne gastroenteritis diseases since the results indicate less effectiveness on pathogen removal in treatment system. The result reveals that the pathogenic E. coli disease burden from Melapura plant shows a slower level (6.74E−07) than the WHO reference (10E−06) level. The risk estimates for Campylobacter show that they slightly exceed by (2.54E−06) over the WHO guidelines. The final disease burdens (db) of Rotavirus were lower for the both The present QMRA study is believed to be the first attempt and to be useful for the local authorities and stakeholders to evaluate the likely risk of infection and to ensure the better management of water supplies in India.

“…Kolkata is the historical place where Dr. Robert Koch established the pathogenicity of Vibrio cholerae in 1884 Koch, 1884 . Pandemics of cholera and other diarrheal diseases have repeatedly occurred since the dawn of time, so the Indian Government founded NICED Chakraborty et al, 1997;Nair et al, 2010;Mukherjee et al, 2013 . NICED has many excellent research staff to handle diarrheal diseases.…”

In developed countries including Japan, malignant tumor cancer , heart disease and cerebral apoplexy are major causes of death, but infectious diseases are still responsible for a high number of deaths in developing countries, especially among children aged less than 5 years. World Health Statistics published by WHO reports a high percentage of mortality from infectious diseases in children, and many of these diseases may be subject to transmission across borders and could possibly invade Japan. This review article outlines project of J-GRID and CRCOUI which the authors carried out collaboratively with NICED staff members.
