Résumé
Campylobacteriosis is the most commonly reported zoonosis in the European Union and probably the most common bacterial gastroenteritis worldwide. It is mainly transmitted to humans through the consumption of contaminated food and water, being the thermophilic Campylobacter species the most frequently implicated. Despite the fact that it does not cause serious illness in most cases, Campylobacter infections have a impact effect on public health and economy.Food-producing animals (mostly chicken) are the main reservoir of Campylobacter in developed countries. Likewise, many species of wild animals can also act as a reservoir of this microorganism, but wild birds present the highest prevalence and variety of Campylobacter species. In addition, potentially pathogenic strains have been isolated from these animals in several studies and the same genotypes have also been observed in wild birds, humans and livestock. However, studies on the role of wild birds as reservoir of Campylobacter species are scarce...
