title: Incidence of Campylobacter species in animal handlers.
abstract: From the stool samples collected from diarrhoeic and healthy handlers of domestic animals different Campylobacter species were isolated in 16.6 and 21.1 per cent respectively. Both biotypes 1 and 2 were identified. All the 10 strains of C. jejuni were found to be enterotoxigenic or potentially enterotoxigenic in the ligated ileal loop of albino rats.
