“…to invade the caecum, we analysed the caecal contents dissected on-site. In agreement with Piccirillo et al (2011) in Italy, our study confirms that the carriage rate of Campylobacter in rabbits in Spain, if it does occur, may be at undetectable levels. It was hypothesised that, unlike in poultry and pig, rabbit intestinal tracts do not provide an optimal environment supporting the colonisation of Campylobacter spp.…”

“…in rabbits at farm level in Italy with somewhat contradictory results. Whilst Piccirillo et al (2011) suggest that this pathogen seems to be absent (260 samples), Revez et al (2008) reported a carriage rate for Campylobacter of 92.3% (36 positives out of 39 samples). These conflicting results may be explained by a variation in the Campylobacter spp.…”

“…named Campylobacter cuniculorum spp. On the other hand, while Revez et al (2008) evaluate caecal contents, Piccirillo et al (2011) examined rectal swabs. Several sampling methods are in use to detect Campylobacter in broiler houses, including cloacal swabs (Hansson et al, 2004), faecal samples (Sandberg et al, 2006), caecal contents (Allen et al, 2007;Rosenquist et al, 2009).…”

“…All samples collected were packed into an individual sterile plastic container, kept cool and processed within 2 h. Does were selected because they are the only category of animals not receiving massive antimicrobial treatments and are being housed for longer periods than growing rabbits, and could therefore act as potential reservoirs of Campylobacter spp. within the farm (Piccirillo et al, 2011).…”

Campylobacteriosis and salmonellosis are the most frequently reported zoonoses and among the most common causes of diarrhoeal illness in the European Union and the United States, and their incidence appears to be increasing. Campylobacter species are routinely found in poultry, swine, cattle, dairy cows and sheep. So far, there are few descriptions of Campylobacter isolation from rabbits. Rabbit meat is a common item in the Mediterranean diet. In this context, the aim of the present study was to investigate the occurrence of Campylobacter spp. in healthy rabbits reared in intensive farms in the Alto Palancia region, eastern Spain. Caecal contents from 70 healthy does reared on 7 different farms were collected. Bacteriological culture was performed in accordance with ISO 10272-1:2006. All samples tested negative for Campylobacter spp. To our knowledge, this is the first study in which comprehensive monitoring was specifically carried out in order to provide data on the occurrence of thermophilic Campylobacter spp. in large intensive rabbit farms in Spain. However, further microbiological studies throughout the Spanish territory are needed to determine the prevalence and risk of other foodborne pathogens in rabbits at farm level.
