Abstract

Campylobacter spp. can survive and be transmitted from a range of environments. Here, we examine eight draft genome sequences of Campylobacter volucris, identified as part of an examination of waterborne Campylobacter species. This is the first report of environmental survival of C. volucris outside gull species.
