title: Poultry meat as a source of human campylobacteriosis.
abstract: Campylobacteriosis is a prevalent diarrhoeal illness in humans, and poultry meat is considered the most important source of foodborne infection with Campylobacter spp. In this review, the disease burden of campylobacteriosis, the most important risk factors for Campylobacter colonization in broilers, and potential interventions to reduce poultry-related human exposure to Campylobacter spp. are discussed.
