Recent NZFSA-funded studies showed a strong correlation between Campylobacter jejuni
populations isolated from fresh broiler chickens and those isolated from human clinical
cases in New Zealand. This work was conducted between March 2005 and Feb 2008 in the Manawatu, Christchurch and Auckland, and supported previous studies indicating that broiler chickens were the primary food source responsible for human campylobacteriosis in this country. This led to the national control policy targeting broiler poultry in New Zealand.
