Prevalence of Campylobacter and Salmonella in African food animals and meat
A systematic review and meta-analysis
Abstract
Campylobacter and Salmonella, particularly non-typhoidal Salmonella, are important bacterial enteric pathogens of humans which are often carried asymptomatically in animal reservoirs. Bacterial foodborne infections, including those derived from meat, are associated with illness and death globally but the burden is disproportionately high in Africa. Commercial meat production is increasing and intensifying in many African countries, creating opportunities and threats for food safety.
This is a publication arising from the Zoonoses and Emerging Livestock Systems (ZELS) programme.
