Suspected Sources of Infection and Transmission Factors Associated With Campylobacteriosis in Northern Portugal
Contact with animals and exposure to non-controlled water were the main suspected sources of the campylobacteriosis cases notified in Northern Portugal in 2015-2017. Exposure to non-controlled water was predominant in the Tâmega e Sousa subregion, a socio-economically deprived area with lower access to public supply water per capita. Prevention and control interventions to reduce the burden of human campylobacteriosis should be implemented following a One Health approach with local stakeholders.
