Association between Precipitation Events, Drought, and Animal Operations with <i>Campylobacter</i> Infections in the Southwest United States, 2009–2021
In this majority arid and semiarid environment, precipitation following prior wet conditions and moderate and severe drought were significantly associated with increased rates of campylobacteriosis, and only in prior extreme drought did rates decrease. Where the precipitation fell made a difference; after precipitation, counties with farm operations had significantly more cases compared to counties without farm operations. Further work should assess individual-level risk factors within environmental exposure pathways for <i>Campylobacter</i>. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP14693.
