| | Irradiation readily destroys campylobacters and it can be used to greatly reduce the incidence on poultry; this may provide a control measure for the future. | | | The illness is a gastrointestinal infection caused by the bacterium Campylobacter jejuni or sometimes C. | | | Symptoms vary from mild (with very little signs of illness even though campylobacter may be present in the stool) to severe (with bloody diarrhoea as the most characteristic symptom). |

| | Illness caused by campylobacter lacks specific symptoms, therefore it is very hard to distinguish gastro-intestinal problems caused by campylobacter from other foodborne illnesses. | | | Almost anybody can become ill from campylobacter infection, but populations with immature immune systems such as children, weakened immune systems - AIDS patients, cancer patients or the elderly, are more prone to campylobacter infection and complications. | | | In 1972, a Belgian research team isolated the bacteria and concluded that Campylobacter jejuni causes illness in humans. |
