“…In Chile, a recent study on fecal samples obtained from cattle showed that C. jejuni was present in an important proportion (21-36%) of samples (Ferna´ndez & Hitschfeld, 2009), reinforcing the need for research in this area to define the importance of cattle as reservoir of C. jejuni. We conclude that cattle in Chile constitute a suitable niche for the persistence of C. jejuni and a potential source for human infections due to this pathogen.…”

“…In the same study, 37% of samples were positive for C. jejuni, 8% to C. hyointestinalis and 0.5% for C. coli. Fernández and Hitschfeld (2009) analyzed 300 samples of fecal swabs of cows in Chile and obtained 32.0% positive for Campylobacter sp., with 85 identified as C. jejuni and 11 C. coli. Bailey et al (2003) studied 19 flocks in Australia, and found that Campylobacter sp.…”

“…in beef cattle is an epidemiological event that can be associated with the environment in which these animals are housed. While these animals are raised on pasture and in contact with a diverse environment, dairy cattle are kept in confinement and in better hygiene conditions HITSCHFELD, 2009). In this sense, there is need to perform further studies to elucidate the sources of environmental contamination of beef.…”

ABSTRACT:The infection by Campylobacter spp. constitutes a zoonosis of worldwide distribution, with serious repercussions for public health and a significant socio-economic impact. The Campylobacter species that most often are implicated in outbreaks of gastrointestinal disease are C. jejuni and C. coli. Both are recognized as the most important and with greater pathogenic potential from the viewpoint of food safety. This review aims to clarify and discuss, based on literature, the epidemiology of Campylobacter spp. and the main challenges in their control, to assist in better understanding of the risk posed to human health. Due to the difficulty of isolating and cultivating of Campylobacter spp., the high cost and not mandatory, laboratory diagnosis by traditional cultivation techniques is not widely used in Brazil, resulting in lack of accurate data on the occurrence of the disease in the country. This factor has been identified as responsible for underdiagnosing and underreporting of the disease, which means that data on contamination of animal products or outbreaks are not statements of actual national situation. The epidemiology of Campylobacter spp. is considered complex presenting multiple determinants in the spread of this microorganism. Chickens are important reservoirs of Campylobacter sp. and the main target of control measures, however, other vehicles of transmission, such as raw cow milk, drinking water and other foods of animal origin must also be considered in the set of measures to be taken to control disease. The infection by Campylobacter spp. cause gastroenteritis in humans and occurred by oral contact with infected animals. In fact, are pets or production and food consumption, the most important pathways. The clinical manifestations of the disease can be from mild to severe symptoms, including watery diarrhea, sometimes with blood, abdominal pain, fever, headache and nausea. Sometimes the infection can get complications after the diarrhea stops and starts a progressive paralysis that can result in respiratory failure and severe neurological dysfunction and may even lead to death. The occurrence of campylobacteriosi's outbreaks should be mandatory to the authorities of surveillance, to provide an investigation of common sources and transmission control through preventive measures , thereby minimizing the potential risks to human health.

“…(54) en Argentina, aportan mayores antecedentes a este respecto, al igual que Araya et al (55) en Chile, quienes establecen que la infección por Campylobacter es más frecuente en preescolares de estrato socioeconómico bajo que en aquellos de estratos altos que viven en áreas de buenas condiciones de saneamiento básico. Un fenómeno similar fue demostrado en animales (gallinas, perros y bovinos) por Fernández et al (56)(57)(58) aislando estas bacterias con frecuencias significativamente mayores en aquellos animales que vivían o eran mantenidos en condiciones de bajo saneamiento básico.…”

RESUMENLas especies termotolerantes de Campylobacter han adquirido gran importancia en la salud pública, por ser considerados agentes de diarrea infecciosa para el ser humano. En esta breve revisión se presenta información sobre aspectos epidemiológicos, clínicos y bacteriológicos de campylobacteriosis en América del Sur. Asimismo, se señalan algunas diferencias con relación a su presentación en países industrializados.Palabras clave : Campylobacter, Infecciones por Campylobacter, Diarrea, Epidemiología, Zoonosis (fuente: DeCS BIREME) Campylobacter AND CAMPYLOBACTERIOSIS:A VIEW FROM SOUTH AMERICA ABSTRACTThe thermotolerant species of Campylobacter have become very important in public health, especially as agents of infectious diarrhea in human beings. In this brief revision we present part of the available information generated in South America about epidemiological, clinical and bacteriological aspects of campylobacteriosis and we identify some differences between the observed and documented campylobacteriosis in South America compared to those described in industrialized countries.
