“…Although C. hyointestinalis has been implicated to be aetiological agent of enteric disease in pig, human and mollucan rusa deer ( GEBHART et al, 1983;EDMONDS et al, 1987;HILL et al, 1987), there is no study directly reporting this organism as a cause of bovine diarrhea. URSING et al (1984) and OHYA et al (1988) used a few C. hyointestinalis strains isolated from bovine chronic diarrhea in their studies.…”

“…Campylobacter hyointestinalis was recently proposed as a new species to accommodate Campylobacter strains isolated from pigs with lesions of proliferative ileitis ( GEBHART et al, 1983;GEBHART et a]., 1985). Since the first report of C. hyointestinalis isolated from pigs, phenotypically similar bacteria have been isolated from cattle feces and stool specimens of human (FIREHAMMER and BORDER, 1986; SNODGRASS et al, 1986;EDMONDS et al, 1987). O n the basis of phenotypic and DNA-related data it has been confirmed that pig, cattle and human isolates are the same species ( GEBHART et al, 1985).…”

Summary An enteric disease affected 16 ruminating calves. The disease was characterized by a nonspecific, mild to severe diarrhea and wasting. Two calves died during the course of disease. C. hyointestinalis was isolated from 12 to 14 calves. The antibody titers of affected calves to C. hyointestinalis varied from 1 : 20 to 1 : 160. The disease was successfully treated with chloramphenicol. Zusammenfassung Bovine Diarrhoe im Zusammenhang mit Campylobacter hyointestinalis 16 wiederkäuende Kälber erkrankten an einer Enteritis, die durch unspezifische, milde bis schwere Durchfälle gekennzeichnet war. Zwei Kälber starben. In 12 von 14 Fällen konnte Campylobacter hyointestinalis aus dem Kot isoliert werden. Die Antikörpertiter der erkrankten Tiere gegen Campylobacter hyointestinalis lagen zwischen 1 : 20 und 1 : 160. Die Enteritis konnte erfolgreich mit Chloramphenicol bekämpft werden.

“…sputorum and Camp. upsaliensis, are increasingly being implicated in human disease (Fennel et al 1986;Edmonds et al 1987;Goossens et al 1990;Lindblom et al 1995). In England and Wales, confirmed cases of campylobacter diarrhoea have exceeded those due to salmonella since 1981, with about 44 000 reported cases in 1995 compared with 30 000 due to salmonella (ACMSF 1993;Anon.…”

Faecal samples from 94 dairy cows and 42 calves in three different herds were examined by a variety of techniques for campylobacters. Cefoperazone amphotericin teicoplanin (CAT) agar, modified cefoperazone charcoal deoxycholate agar (mCCDA), Karmali agar, and membrane filtration onto blood agar, were used with and without enrichment in CAT broth. Seventy-nine percent of cattle in herd A carried campylobacters, compared with 40% and 37.5% of cattle in herds B and C, respectively. Most animals carried only one species of Campylobacter. Campylobacter hyointestinalis was isolated most frequently (32% animals positive) with Camp. fetus subsp. fetus and Camp. jejuni subsp. jejuni detected in 11% and 7% of animals, respectively. In addition, a novel biotype of Camp. sputorum was isolated from 60% of 47 cows tested in herd A. Direct plating detected only two of the total of 40 animals positive for campylobacter. Enrichment in CAT broth before membrane filtration onto blood agar or CAT agar were the most successful methods of plating. Campylobacter sputorum was isolated from CAT agar and blood agar but not from mCCDA or Karmali agar. Karmali agar incubated at 30 degrees C was especially effective for isolating Camp. fetus subsp. fetus.

The information about pathogens excreted by semi-domesticated reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) that might represent a health risk to humans and animals is insufficient. The objectives of this study are to find the occurrence and prevalence of important potentially enteropathogenic, zoonotic bacteria and parasites in reindeer. Faecal samples from clinically healthy, semi-domesticated reindeer (n=2243) from northern regions of Finland and Norway were examined for important potentially enteropathogenic bacteria (Campylobacter spp., Enterococcus spp., Escherichia coli, Salmonella spp. and Yersinia spp.) and parasites (Cryptosporidium spp.) following standard procedures. Escherichia coli were isolated in 2123 (94.7%), Enterococcus spp. in 2084 (92.9%), Yersinia spp. in 108 (4.8%) samples and Campylobacter sp., identified as C. hyointestinalis, in one sample only (0.04%). Neither Salmonella spp. nor Cryptosporidium-oocysts were detected. This study clearly shows that E. coli and Enterococcus spp. belong to the normal intestinal flora of healthy reindeer. However, only few of the isolated E. coli-strains possess genes encoding stx1 (0.14%), stx2 (0%), eae (0.52%) and hlyEHEC (0.99%), detected by PCR, that have the ability to cause health problems in humans and also animals. The isolated Yersinia spp. were further analysed for virulence factors, but examinations revealed no pathogenic strains. The public health risk due to excretion of important enteropathogenic microorganisms from reindeer has to be considered very low at present but a putative epidemiological threat to human health might arise when herding conditions are changed towards intensification and crowding. This study was performed as part of the EU-project RENMAN (www.urova.fi/home/renman/).

Abstract in Norwegian / Sammendrag: Det er mangelfull kunnskap om hvorvidt det i reinmøkk kan finnes mikroorganismer som kan representere en helserisiko for dyr og mennesker. Hensikten med denne studien var å undersøke forekomsten av mulige sykdomsfremkallende mikroorganismer i reinmøkk. Prøver av reinmøkk ble samlet fra 2243 klinisk friske tamrein i nordre deler av Finland og Norge. Prøvene ble undersøkt for bakteriene Campylobacter spp., Enterococcus spp., Escherichia coli, Salmonella spp., Yersinia spp. og parasitten Cryptosporidium spp. ved bruk av standardiserte laboratoriemetoder. E. coli ble funnet i 2123 prøver (94,7%), Enterococcus spp. i 2084 prøver (92,9%) og Yersinia spp. i 108 prøver (4,8%). Campylobacter spp., identifisert som Campylobacter hyointestinalis, ble bare funnet i én prøve (0,04%). Salmonella spp. og Cryptosporidium spp. ble ikke p&ari...
