Above all, contaminated poultry meat can cause human gastroenteritis in both developed and developing countries. The respective contributions reveal how these infections can also increase the risk of generalized paralytic diseases such as Guillain-Barré syndrome, Miller-Fisher syndrome, and Chinese paralytic syndrome. Due to their influence on the nervous system, circulatory system, and various organs,Campylobacterinfections represent a serious public health concern.Campylobactercan be effectively combated by addressing the hygienic conditions in both food production and human lifestyles. Accordingly, the authors put forward a One Health perspective, which provides readers with essential insights into the basic biology ofCampylobacter, as well as practical guidance on aspects ranging from food production to the clinical treatment of infections.Chapters ‘Population Biology and Comparative Genomics ofCampylobacterSpecies’ and ‘Natural Competence and Horizontal Gene Transfer inCampylobacter’ are available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.
