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.

Über Autor(innen)

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 Campylobacter
in 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
Resistance (AGISAR), belonging to the latter until June 2014.

In
2014 obtained a grant from the Ecuadorian Secretariat for Higher Education,
Science, Technology and Innovation to develop a Prometeo Project at the
Technical University of Loja to build academic capacities on Campylobacter and develop research
projects in this field. At this time he created the Latin American Network of
Researchers in Campylobacteraceae.
Dr. Daise Aparecida Rossi is professor of microbiology,
zoonotic disease and hygiene
and vigilance in food at
Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of the
Universidade Federal de Uberlândia, Minas Gerais, Brasil. She has
experience in veterinary microbiology, mainly with food microbiology and
epidemiology, with expertise in foodborne zoonoses
and food safety. She has several important works about Campylobacter and Salmonella in general food as, chicken, milk, cheese
and other meats. Her research team also developed projects in Brazil
about the prevalence of Campylobacter in animal products, their virulence,
resistance to antimicrobials and capacity of biofilm formation. She is member of the Latin American Network
of Researchers in Campylobacteraceae (Relacampy).
and SSAN-UNASUL (Program of the development of strategies of Socio-educational
or Social Technology character on Sovereignty, Food and Nutritional Security).
