Transmission routes of Campylobacter spp. in broilers and possibilities for prevention of infections were studied on two Dutch broiler farms. The occurrence of Campylobacter spp. was studied in successive broiler flocks, in the environment of the farms and in some of the parent flocks involved. Isolates of Campylobacter spp. were typed by using randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis. The results indicate that broiler flocks become infected from environmental sources. The typing results suggest that on one farm transmission of Campylobacter spp. occurred from cattle to broilers via the farmer's footwear. After several campylobacter positive broiler cycles hygiene measures, including thorough cleaning and disinfection procedures, change of footwear at the entrance of each broiler house, control of vermin and other hygienic precautions, were introduced on both farms in order to prevent transmission of Campylobacter spp. from the farm environment to the broilers. The results indicate that the application of hygiene measures significantly reduced campylobacter infections of broiler flocks on both farms.
在荷兰的两个肉鸡养殖场研究了弯曲杆菌属在肉鸡中的传播途径及预防感染的可能性。在连续的肉鸡群、养殖场环境以及部分相关的亲本鸡群中研究了弯曲杆菌属的存在情况。使用随机扩增多态性DNA（RAPD）分析对弯曲杆菌属分离株进行分型。结果表明肉鸡群是从环境源感染的。分型结果表明，在一个养殖场，弯曲杆菌属通过农民的鞋从牛传播到肉鸡。在经历了几个弯曲杆菌阳性肉鸡养殖周期后，两个养殖场都采取了卫生措施，包括彻底的清洁和消毒程序、在每个肉鸡舍入口处更换鞋子、控制害虫以及其他卫生预防措施，以防止弯曲杆菌属从养殖场环境传播到肉鸡。结果表明，卫生措施的实施显著降低了两个养殖场肉鸡群的弯曲杆菌感染率。
