Campylobacter in broiler flocks

The Norwegian Veterinary institute monitor the situation of Campylobacter in broiler flocks on assignment from the Norwegian Food Safety Authority.

Campylobacteriosis is currently the most commonly reported bacterial infectious disease in the Norwegian human population. In almost half of the cases, the infection is acquired in Norway. Consumption of poultry meat purchased raw has been identified as a significant risk factor together with the drinking of undisinfected water, eating at barbecues, occupational exposure to animals, and eating undercooked pork (Kapperud et al. 2003, Am J Epidemiol, 158:234-242).

The files called Handlingsplan is the action plan of the surveillance program, and is only available in Norwegian.
