Euro Surveill. 2003 Nov;8(11):218. doi: 10.2807/esm.08.11.00432-en.

Abstract

In 2001, one year after the study of microbiological laboratories that showed the feasibility of a surveillance of Campylobacter infections, 1389 private laboratories were asked whether they would be willing to participate. The high proportion of positive responses (48%, 661) allowed the implementation on 1 April 2002 of surveillance of human Campylobacter infections.
