Thermophilic Campylobacter species are clinically important aetiologies of gastroenteritis in humans throughout the world. The colonization of different animal reservoirs by Campylobacter poses an important risk for humans through shedding of the pathogen in livestock waste and contamination of water sources, environment, and food. A review of published articles was conducted to obtain information on the prevalence and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) profiles of thermophilic Campylobacter species in humans and animals in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Electronic databases, namely, PubMed, Google Scholar, Research4life-HINARI Health, and Researchgate.net, were searched using the following search terms “thermophilic Campylobacter,” “Campylobacter jejuni,” “Campylobacter coli,” “diarrhea/diarrhoea,” “antimicrobial resistance,” “antibiotic resistance,” “humans,” “animals,” “Sub-Saharan Africa,” and “a specific country name.” Initially, a total of 614 articles were identified, and the lists of references were screened in which 22 more articles were identified. After screening, 33 articles on humans and 34 on animals and animal products were included in this review. In humans, Nigeria reported the highest prevalence (62.7%), followed by Malawi (21%) and South Africa (20.3%). For Campylobacter infections in under-five children, Kenya reported 16.4%, followed by Rwanda (15.5%) and Ethiopia (14.5%). The country-level mean prevalence in all ages and under-five children was 18.6% and 9.4%, respectively. The prevalence ranged from 1.7%–62.7% in humans and 1.2%–80% in animals. The most reported species were C. jejuni and C. coli. The AMR to commonly used antimicrobials ranged from 0–100% in both humans and animals. Poultry consumption and drinking surface water were the main risk factors for campylobacteriosis. The present review provides evidence of thermophilic Campylobacter occurrence in humans and animals and high levels of AMR in SSA, emphasizing the need for strengthening both national and regional multisectoral antimicrobial resistance standard surveillance protocols to curb both the campylobacteriosis burden and increase of antimicrobial resistance in the region.

“…Similarly, Campylobacter recovery from goat carcases has been widely reported in Ethiopian, Ghanaian and Grecian abattoirs (Woldemariam et al, 2009;Lazou et al, 2014;Karikari et al, 2017), raw retail goat meats respectively in Ethiopia and Iran (Dadi and Asrat, 2008;Rahimi et al, 2010), and goat meat has been reported to act as major source of human and environmental contamination by Campylobacter spp. in Congo (a Mpalang et al, 2014).…”

Western Australian rangeland goats were surveyed for faecal carriage of Salmonella enterica and Campylobacter spp. Faecal samples were collected from 125 goats on four occasions. The first sample was collected immediately upon arrival at a commercial goat depot (feedlot). Subsequent samples were collected at one month intervals thereafter. Frequency of detection and faecal carriage intensity were determined using qPCR targeting the S. enterica outer membrane protein (ompF) and Campylobacter spp. purine biosynthesis gene (purA). Salmonella enterica were identified in 40/500 of faecal samples, with S. enterica faecal carriage detected in 30% (38/125) goats over the duration of the study. Campylobacter spp. were identified in 12/500 of samples, with Campylobacter spp. detected in 10% (12/125) goats over duration of the study. Frequency of detection was highest at the first sample collection for both S. enterica (26%) and Campylobacter spp. (8%). Repeat detection of Salmonella was observed for only a single goat (0.8%). Salmonella qPCR positive samples were characterised at ompF and invA genes as S. enterica. Further 3 characterisation at STM2755 and STM4497 genes confirmed the isolates were S. enterica serovar Typhimurium. Characterization at the 16S rRNA and hippuricase (hipO) genes revealed all Campylobacter spp. positive samples were C. jejuni. This study demonstrates that qPCR can be used for rapid identification of faecal carriage in goat faecal samples and showed evidence of carriage of zoonotic S. Typhimurium and C. jejuni by captured rangeland goats. The findings have implications for management of goats at abattoirs and in confined feeding facilities.

Aim:The aim of the present study was to investigate the molecular etiopathology of occurrence of reproductive diseases in female goats. Reproductive diseases in goats account for major economic losses to goat farmers in terms of valuable loss of offspring and animal productivity.Materials and Methods:A total of 660 female genitalia were examined for pathological conditions (macroscopic and microscopic lesions). The etiopathological study was carried out for the presence of pathogenic organisms such as Brucella, Chlamydia, and Campylobacter in the uterus and ovary. Based on the microscopic lesions, suspected samples were subjected to diagnostic polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for various etiological agents employing 16srRNA genus specific primers for Campylobacter and Chlamydophila and OMP31 gene-based PCR for Brucella melitensis and nested PCR using ITS-1 gene primers for Toxoplasma gondii. For Brucella suspected samples, immunohistochemistry (IHC) was also performed.Results:In studied female genitalia, 108 (16.30%) showed gross abnormalities with overall 23.32% occurrence of pathological conditions (macroscopic and microscopic lesions). Pathological involvement of the uterus was the highest 68 (62.96%), followed by the ovaries 27 (25%) and other organs. Major uterine condition observed was endometritis (5.60%). In uterine infections, 35 (5.30%) samples were found positive for Campylobacter spp., 12 (1.81%) samples for B. melitensis, and 3 (0.45%) samples were positive for Chlamydophila spp. Among the samples positive for B. melitensis by PCR, 3 were found positive by IHC also. Corynebacterium ovis was detected by PCR using specific primers in a case of hydrosalpinx. It was concluded that many pathological lesions in female genitalia of functional significance play a major role in infertility in goats.Conclusion:The present study concluded that many pathological lesions in female genitalia of functional significance play a major role in infertility in goats.
