Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the potential association and correlation between Campylobacter prevalence in broiler chicken farms and Campylobacter food poisoning frequency in humans. We assessed the relationship between seasonal changes in Campylobacter prevalence in broiler farms and food poisoning frequency, and compared this to the corresponding patterns for Salmonella.
