Poultry Culling and Campylobacteriosis Reduction among Humans, the Netherlands.
Friesema IH, Havelaar AH, Westra PP, Wagenaar JA, van Pelt W.
Abstract
In the Netherlands in 2003, an outbreak of avian influenza in poultry resulted in extensive culling, especially of layer hens. Concurrently, human campylobacteriosis cases decreased, particularly in the culling area. These observations raise the hypothesis that Campylobacter spp. dissemination from poultry farms or slaughterhouses might contribute to human campylobacteriosis.
