| This study represents an epidemiological investigation of 47 cases out of 358 cases (13.1%) of gastrointestinal disturbances diagnosed as campylobacter infections in man and 215 domestic farm animals and pets in contact. The incidence of infection was found in young children (3.6%) while in adults was (9.5%). It was found that out of 215 representative animal faecal samples, 51 were positive to campylobacter species (23.7%), 17 cases were pets and 34 were farm animals. In addition, 94 samples of commercial milk were examined and Campylobater jejuni was isolated from 9.6 % of the examined samples. The zoonotic and sanitary importance of the campylobacter organisms and the hazards of its implication in human was discussed. | ||
