Fighting Campylobacter Infections

Towards a One Health Approach

319 Seiten, Hardcover

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This edited volume explores Campylobacter  species, which are some of the most important foodborne pathogens. Above all, contaminated poultry meat can cause human gastroenteritis in both developed and developing countries. The respective contributions reveal how these infections can also increase the risk of generalized paralytic diseases such as Guillain-Barré syndrome, Miller-Fisher syndrome, and Chinese paralytic syndrome. Due to their influence on the nervous system, circulatory system, and various organs, Campylobacter  infections represent a serious public health concern.

Campylobacter  can be effectively combated by addressing the hygienic conditions in both food production and human lifestyles. Accordingly, the authors put forward a One Health perspective, which provides readers with essential insights into the basic biology of Campylobacter , as well as practical guidance on aspects ranging from food production tothe clinical treatment of infections.
