Cohort study of the risk of campylobacteriosis when Campylobacter is found in water used for recreational purposes (CampAqua)

Project Details

Description

Throughout the summer, CampAqua will take water samples from recreational bathing areas in the capital area to isolate and sequence campylobacter isolates in order to compare them with isolates from human campylobacteriosis cases in the same period. With this knowledge, we can better uncover the role of recreational bathing areas as a source of human campylobacteriosis cases than we can now.
