“…Other studies do show that C. jejuni may coexist with C. coli in pigs but usually the C. jejuni are always present in 10–100-fold lower numbers than C. coli [ 37 ]. In Ghana, most of the farms rear multiple animals and it could be that the pigs may have acquired the C. jejuni from poultry on the same farm [ 23 , 38 ].…”

Campylobacter is of major significance in food safety and human and veterinary medicine. This study highlighted resistance situation in the area of veterinary public health in Ghana. Using selective mCCDA agar, isolates were confirmed phenotypically on API CAMPY and genotypically by multiplex PCR of IpxA gene. The susceptibility profile of species to common and relevant antibiotics was determined by the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method. Cattle, sheep, goat, and pig faecal samples analysed, respectively, yielded 13.2% (16/121), 18.6% (22/102), 18.5% (25/135), and 28.7% (29/101) Campylobacter species while 34.5% (38/110), 35.9% (42/117), 23.9% (32/134), and 36.3% (37/102) were, respectively, recovered from the carcasses. Species identified in faeces were C. jejuni 35.8% (33/92), C. jejuni subsp. doylei 4.3% (4/92), C. coli 47.8% (44/92), and C. lari 12.0% (11/92). Species discovered in carcasses were C. jejuni 83.9% (125/149), C. jejuni subsp. doylei 2.0% (3/149), C. coli 6.0% (9/149), and C. lari 8.1% (12/149). Resistance ranged from 92 to 97% to the β-lactams, 7 to 69% to the quinolones, 0 to 44% to the aminoglycosides, 97 to 100% to erythromycin, 48 to 94% to tetracycline, 45 to 88% to chloramphenicol, and 42 to 86% to trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole as 0% resistance was observed against imipenem.

“…Great progress has been made in selective breeding of chickens that are tolerant of tropical climates, lay many more eggs, and grow larger and faster, all without the need for supplemental feed (Dessie and Getachew 2016;Sharma et al 2016). While poultry can be susceptible to disease, especially when more intensively…”

The main animals that are hunted are warthogs, monkeys and Gambia rats. (Photo by Axel Fassio/CIFOR) For this report, where photographs focused on one or a few people to the extent where individuals could be recognized, we decided to only use photos where the subject had given consent for the photograph to be used for this report. This cautious approach was adopted due to the illegality of hunting, or the ambiguity of hunting laws in many tropical countries.
