“…Studies from England [43] showed that the numbers of campylobacters in sewage were related to the incidence of campylobacteriosis in the community and the presence of animal effluents from abattoirs and poultry processing plants. The presence of Campylobacter in sewage was found to exhibit an identical seasonal pattern to incidence of campylobacteriosis in the community; with a large peak in May and June and minor one in September and October [43,46]. This observation may suggest that the increase of campylobacteriosis in the community are related to the increase of campylobacters amounts in the environment, which in turn correlated to the changes in the numbers of Campylobacter spp.…”

“…Campylobacter species are ubiquitous in sewage, human and animal wastes from farms, abattoirs and animal processing plants are major sources of Campylobacter's contamination in the environment [20,21,[43][44][45]. Studies from England [43] showed that the numbers of campylobacters in sewage were related to the incidence of campylobacteriosis in the community and the presence of animal effluents from abattoirs and poultry processing plants.…”

“…Considerable reduction of Campylobacter in sewage can be achieved by secondary treatment (i.e. trickle filtration, activated sludge and oxidation ponds) where the numbers of campylobacters could be reduced by 88% to over 95% [46,49]. Complete elimination of campylobacters from sewage effluents can be achieved by tertiary treatment and chlorination [50].…”

“…In the second WWTP, the numbers of campylobacters per liter were 82 000 and 59 670 in incoming water and 16 330 and 17 670 in treated water, respectively. Two separate studies in a single Italian WWTP showed average concentrations between 16 300 and 17 200 cellslL of incoming water (Stampi et al, 1992(Stampi et al, , 1993. These concentrations were reduced by more than 99% in treated water.…”

“…Many studies have found Campylobacter in aquatic environments; in fact, its recovery is common and widespread [ Table 3 (38,39,]. Sewage treatment (86)(87)(88)(89)(90)(91) and water-treatment processes (84,85) are less than perfect ecologic filters. Animal access to drinking water catchments and proximity to rivers would seem to be an important factor in determining exposure through aquatic ecosystems.…”

Campylobacteriosis, like many human diseases, has its own ecology in which the propagation of human infection and disease depends on pathogen survival and finding new hosts in order to replicate and sustain the pathogen population. The complexity of this process, a process common to other enteric pathogens, has hampered control efforts. Many unknowns remain, resulting in a poorly understood disease ecology. To provide structure to these unknowns and help direct further research and intervention, we propose an eco-environmental modeling approach for campylobacteriosis. This modeling approach follows the pathogen population as it moves through the environments that define the physical structure of its ecology. In this paper, we term the ecologic processes and environments through which these populations move "pathogen survival trajectories." Although such a modeling approach could have veterinary applications, our emphasis is on human campylobacteriosis and focuses on human exposures to Campylobacter through feces, food, and aquatic environments. The pathogen survival trajectories that lead to human exposure include ecologic filters that limit population size, e.g., cooking food to kill Campylobacter. Environmental factors that influence the size of the pathogen reservoirs include temperature, nutrient availability, and moisture availability during the period of time the pathogen population is moving through the environment between infected and susceptible hosts. We anticipate that the modeling approach proposed here will work symbiotically with traditional epidemiologic and microbiologic research to help guide and evaluate the acquisition of new knowledge about the ecology, eventual intervention, and control of campylobacteriosis.
