Campylobacter infections are intricately linked to agricultural environments, where the bacteria can colonize the intestines of livestock, including poultry, cattle, and pigs. Contaminated animal feces can introduce Campylobacter into the environment, posing risks to water sources and crops. This environmental reservoir contributes to the persistence and spread of the bacteria, creating challenges for both animal and public health. Farm workers, veterinarians, and individuals residing near agricultural operations face an increased risk of Campylobacter exposure. Efforts to control these infections involve implementing biosecurity measures on farms, such as improving animal hygiene, water management, and waste disposal practices. Additionally, research into the ecology of Campylobacter in the environment is crucial for developing targeted interventions to reduce transmission. Understanding the complex interactions between Campylobacter, animals, and the environment is fundamental for devising effective control strategies. Integrated approaches that consider the One Health perspective, encompassing human, animal, and environmental health, are essential for mitigating the impact of Campylobacter infections on a global scale.
