“…The symptoms in simian primates are similar to those in man (Tribe et al 1979) but abortions associated with campylobacter infections have also been recorded (Tribe & Frank 1980). Campylobacters can be isolated from a high percentage of healthy chickens (Bruce et al 1977).…”

“…Despite bacteraemia there was only one isolation from organs not associated with the digestive system, even in the monkey killed at three days; this was the isolation from the bladder wall of the monkey killed at seven days. Infection of the urogenitial tract of monkeys naturally harbouring simian strains of C. jejuni has been recorded by Tribe & Frank (1980). It is of particular interest that the bacteria were never recovered from the mesenteric lymph nodes.…”

SUMMARYYoung Rhesus monkeys (Macac mulatta) were infected orally with a human strain of Campylobacter jejuni. The disease induced was mild, with inappetence and diarrhoea of short duration, but prolonged intermittent excretion of the bacteria in the faeces occurred. Bacteraemia was generally present for 2-3 days and later the organisms localized in the liver and gall bladder. Recovered animals, when challenged with the same strain, showed no clinical symptoms, no bacteraemia, and excreted the organisms in the faeces for only 3 days.

“…Furthermore, C. fetus was considered the cause of placental lesions and fetal death of a rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta) (5). Campylobacter species, especially C. jejuni, are some of the pathogens that are isolated most frequently from diarrheic and healthy captive and free-ranging nonhuman primates (36,38,42,47,54,2). C. fetus subsp.…”

Little is known about the epidemiology of Campylobacter spp. in wild animal populations. However, zoological collections can provide valuable insights. Using records from the Zoological Society of London Whipsnade Zoo compiled between 1990 and 2003, the roles of a range of biotic and abiotic factors associated with the occurrence of campylobacteriosis were investigated. The occurrence of campylobacteriosis varied widely across host taxonomic orders. Furthermore, in mammals, a combination of changes in both rainfall and temperature in the week preceding the onset of gastroenteritis were associated with isolation of Campylobacter from feces. In birds, there was a weak negative correlation between mean weekly rainfall and isolation of Campylobacter from feces. Importantly, in birds we found that the mean weekly rainfall 3 to 4 weeks before symptoms of gastroenteritis appeared was the best predictor of Campylobacter infection. Campylobacter-related gastroenteritis cases with mixed concurrent infections were positively associated with the presence of parasites (helminths and protozoans) in mammals, while in birds Campylobacter was associated with other concurrent bacterial infections rather than with the presence of helminths and protozoans. This study suggests that climatic elements are important factors associated with Campylobacter-related gastroenteritis. Further investigations are required to improve our understanding of Campylobacter epidemiology in captive wild animal populations.
