🧵 How did chickens become the world's biggest source of Campylobacter? Changes in agriculture have transformed chickens into the world's largest reservoir of one of our most common bacterial pathogens. Here's the story... 👇 #MicroSky #OneHealth

🧵 GETCampy Stories #3 Campylobacter is the leading cause of bacterial gastroenteritis worldwide. Yet we still don't have a licensed human vaccine, and reducing infections remains surprisingly difficult. Why? 👇 #MicroSky #OneHealth #Campylobacter

🧵 GETCampy Stories #2 We spend a lot of time asking: **Where did this infection come from?** It sounds like a simple question. In reality, it's one of the hardest, and most important, questions in infectious disease epidemiology. 👇

🧵 New paper! 🚨 Delighted to see our GETCampy-Africa protocol published in BMJ Open. *Protocols for genomic epidemiology and source attribution of enteric bacteria causing diarrhoeal disease across Africa* @bmj.com @bmjmedicine.bsky.social 📄 bmjopen.bmj.com/content/16/6... 👇

Great week in The Gambia launching the Campylobacter Control Campaign (CCC). Researchers from 🇬🇲 🇳🇬 🇨🇮 🇬🇧 met at the MRC Unit The Gambia to plan a new multi-country genomic surveillance programme for Campylobacter. Excited to see this collaboration grow. #Campylobacter #OneHealth

In Iquitos, Peru this week 🇵🇪 working on enteric pathogen genomics and surveillance in the Amazon. Science powered by collaboration, rain, food… and Inca kola!
