Migratory ducks, Canada geese, and sandhill crane from the Pacific North American Flyway have been screened for Campylobacter spp. Samples (298) from these birds were examined and the incidence of Campylobacter spp. in the samples were as follows: sandhill crane (Grus canadensis tabida), 81%; ducks (Aythya collaris, Anas carolinensis, Aythya americana, and Anas platyrhynchos), 73%; and Canada geese (Branta canadensis), 5%. All isolates were identified as Campylobacter jejuni. To our knowledge this is the first report of the isolation of C. jejuni from sandhill crane. The high frequency of isolation in both the sandhill crane and migratory ducks indicated that these bird populations may play a significant role in the dissemination of the bacterium. Because of their migratory habits, these birds may be particularly important in spreading C. jejuni to remote areas.
对来自北美太平洋迁徙路线的野鸭、加拿大鹅和沙丘鹤进行了弯曲杆菌属筛查。检测了这些鸟类的298份样本，样本中弯曲杆菌属的发生率如下：沙丘鹤（加拿大鹤指名亚种），81%；鸭（环颈潜鸭、卡罗莱纳鸭、美洲潜鸭和平嘴鸭），73%；以及加拿大鹅（加拿大黑雁），5%。所有分离株均鉴定为空肠弯曲杆菌。据我们所知，这是首次从沙丘鹤中分离出空肠弯曲杆菌的报告。沙丘鹤和野鸭中分离出该菌的高频率表明，这些鸟类种群可能在该细菌的传播中发挥重要作用。由于它们的迁徙习性，这些鸟类在将空肠弯曲杆菌传播到偏远地区方面可能尤为重要。
