This book provides an extensive review of research into Campylobacter, Helicobacter and Arcobacter species found in poultry. It includes the epidemiology, diagnosis, immune response and disease control of these organisms in commercial poultry production. Antimicrobial resistance, and the incidence and human disease potential of these bacteria is also discussed.

A global perspective is presented by experts from four continents ? South America, North America, Europe and Africa. This reference work will be of value to the poultry industry, research laboratories, public health workers and students. An extensive overview of the relevant literature is provided by the reference lists at the end of each chapter.

Dr. Belchiolina Beatriz Fonseca is professor of avian disease and poultry production from Faculty of Veterinary Medicine from Universidade Federal de Uberlândia, Minas Gerais, Brasil. Before her academic work he has worked in the field as a Veterinary Medical with chickens and broiler breeders. She has started research about Campylobacterin poultry since 2005 when studied in Chile with Dr. Heriberto Fernandéz. Thenceforward, her research about Campylobacter with Dr. Daise Rossi in poultry. The main focus of the author is epidemiology and the relationship of commensal or disease between and campylobacter in poultry. She is member of the Latin American Network of Researchers in Campylobacteraceae (Relacampy).

Dr. Heriberto Fernández is Full Professor of Clinical Microbiology and past-director of the Institute of Clinical Microbiology, Faculty of Medicine, Universidad Austral de Chile.

During the first years of his career he was involved in microbiological diagnosis of zoonotic bacterial agents. Since 1980 their research lines turned towards Campylobacter  and related microorganisms and their epidemiological relationships among humans, animals, the environment and food production. Throughout the last 35 years he conducted many research projects in the field. As Professor he spent much of his time to teach about Campylobacter, not only to undergraduate and graduate students and professionals of his country, but also to others in many countries of Latin America, being also invited as speaker at many conferences and scientific meetings in almost all South American countries and some of Central America. He was trainer in different courses in Argentina and Mexico of the WHO SalmSurvNet (now renamed GFN).

Dr Fernández was invited to be member of the WHO Experts Committee on Campylobacter, the Chilean Agency for Food Safety and the WHO Advisory Group on Integrated Surveillance of Antimicrobial

An up to date review of Campylobacter species and related organisms and their interaction with poultry Covers the latest molecular techniques for the investigation of various aspects of Campylobacter Provides the first review of Arcobacter and Helicobacter species in poultry Poultry is recognized as the most common cause of Campylobacter-associated diseases in humans Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
