A zoonotic disease is any disease or infection that is transmissible from vertebrate animals to humans.Nearly two-thirds of human infectious diseases arise from pathogens shared with wild or domestic animals. Endemic and enzootic zoonoses cause about a billion cases of illness in people and millions of deaths every year.

1. CAMPYLOBACTERIOSIS
-Campylobacter jejuni
-ANUSHA B
MICROBIOLOGIST

3. ZOONOTIC DISEASE:
• Zoonosis is another name for a zoonotic disease.
• It is a type of disease that passes from an animal or insect to a
human.
• Zoonotic diseases ranges from minor illness to major life changing illness.
• They are transmitted through various ways:
• Through air
• By eating contaminated foods such as meat.
• Through close contact with infected animal.
• Through insect bites like mosquitos or ticks.

4. OTHER SPECIES
• C.jejuni- DIARRHEA IN HUMANS.
• C. lari – FOUND IN SEAGULLS, CAUSES MILD RECURRENT DIARRHEA IN
CHILDREN
• C.upsaliensis – CAUSES DIARRHEA OR BACTEREMIA
• C.hyointestinalis- CAUSES OCCASIONAL BACTEREMIA IN
IMMUNOCOMPROMISED INDIVIDUALS.

5. THE ORGANISM -
Campylobacter jejuni
• CAMPLYLOBACTERIOSIS AFFECTS INTESINAL TRACT AND CAUSES DIARRHOEA.
• Campylobacter COMMONLY MEANS CURVED ROD IN GREEK.
• Campylobacter Spp IS COMMONLY ASSOCIATED WITH POULTRY.
• C.jejuni IS A HELICAL SHAPED, GRAM NEGATIVE ORGANISIM.
• MOTILE ORGANISIM WITH SINGLE FLAGELLA.
• DARTING MOTILITY.
• OPT. TEMPERATURE IS 37.
• SELECTIVE MEDIA: CHARCOAL BASED SELECTIVE MEDIUM.
• SKIRROW’S MEDIUM.
• CATALASE- POSITIVE
• OXIDASE- POSITIVE

6. HOW IS IT SPREAD?
• THE BACTERIA IS COMMONLY FOUND IN GUT OF WARM BLOODED
ANIMALS AND BIRDS.
• INFECTS PEOPLE WHO DRINK UNPASTERURIZED MILK OR
COMNTAMINATED WATER OR EATING OF UNCOOKED MEATS.
• EVEN BE TRANSMITTED FROM IMPROPER HANDLING OF
SLAUGHTERING PRACTICES.
• UNDERECOOKED POULTRY IS THE MAJOR CONTRIBUTOR TO THIS
DISEASE.
• UNCHLORINATED WATER MAY SOMETIMES BE AS A SOURCE.

7. PATHOGENESIS:

8. PATHOGENESIS:
• INFECTION CAUSING- BACTERIA PENETRATES GI MUCOUS.
• ADHERES TO GUT ENTEROCYTES.
• INDUCE DIARRHOEA.
• TOXINS INVOLVED: ENTEROTOXIN AND CYTOTOXIN.
• COLONIZES: LARGE AND SMALL INTESTINE.
• INFECTIVE DOSE: 800 ORGANISMS.
• SYMPTOMS:
SEVERE DIARRHOEA WITH BLOOD TRACES,
FEVER
NAUSEA
ABDOMINAL PAIN
HEAD ACHE
LONG TERM DISORDERS- REACTIVE ARTHRITIS

9. TREATMENT:
• MOSTLY PEOPLE RECOVER WITHOUT ANY TREATMENT.
• PEOPLE WITH DIARRHEA SHOUKD DRINK PLENTY OF FLUIDS.
• SOMETIMES ANTIBIOTICS CAN BE USED TO REDUCE THE SYMPTOM
DURATION OR FOR THE ELIMINATION OF CARRIER STATE.

10. PREVENTION:
• GOOD HYGENIC SLAUGHTERING PRACTICES.
• HYGENIC FOOD HANDLING.
• BACTERICIDAL TREATMENT- HEATING OR PASTEURIZATION OR ANY
CHEMICAL TREATMENT.
• COOK FOOD THROUGHLY.
• PREVENT CROSS CONTAMINATION.
