Study of the genetic diversity of Campylobacter lari from skua species (Stercorarius maccormicki, Catharacta Antarctica) from the Southern Ocean and Antarctica
TFM One Health Campylobacteriosis is the most reported gastrointestinal disease in humans in the EU, representing 70% of all the reporting cases. Wild animals, especially birds, are well known reservoirs for Campylobacter. The presence of pathogens in the Antarctica has received limited attention du...

TFM One Health Campylobacteriosis is the most reported gastrointestinal disease in humans in the EU, representing 70% of all the reporting cases. Wild animals, especially birds, are well known reservoirs for Campylobacter. The presence of pathogens in the Antarctica has received limited attention due to the region's isolation. However, Antarctic seabirds disperse across the Southern Ocean and can even spend the winter in the northern hemisphere.
