Epidemiological Status of Avian Campylobacter and Advances on Its Public Health Risk Assessment
With the development of poultry industry,avian Campylobacter has been posing a serious threat to food safety and human health.It was found that,by summarizing epidemiological status of avian Campylobacter in broiler supply chain and the advances on its risk assessment,Campylobacter contamination varied greatly in different regions and stages,and the detection rate was higher at farming stage compared to the stages of slaughter and retail;the prevalence of avian Campylobacter was also quite different at different stages both in China and other countries,and the detection rate was higher at farming stage in China,while that was higher at retail stage in other countries;Campylobacter coli was becoming dominant with the detection rate increasingly higher than that of Campylobacter jejuni.The increasing prevalence risk of avian Campylobacter was caused by cross or secondary contamination during production,processing,transportation and handling of chicken products.But current researches on Campylobacter risk assessment mainly focused on a single stage in China,and was fewer on the whole chain of broiler supply,requiring to improve relevant data,and to conduct a common health risk assessment of"animals-environment-human"based on"One Health"concept.The contamination,influencing factors and researches on risk assessment of avian Campylobacter in poultry production supply chain were summarized,and key control points of avian Campylobacter contamination and shortcomings in risk assessment were identified,aiming to contribute to realizing"One Health".
