ABSTRACT

This study was contemplated to investigate the season wise prevalence of Campylobacter jejuni from a total of 3099 raw milk samples collected aseptically from different local vendors, retail outlets and hotels from various zones of Chennai. A total of 42 C.jejuni isolates were obtained with a prevalence level of 1.36%. Seasonal variation in the prevalence of C. jejuni in milk is observed, with a peak in hot weather season (57.1%) followed by south west monsoon season (26.2%) and lowest in cold weather season (4.8%). On statistical analysis, Chi-Square test indicated that the prevalence of C.jejuni was correlated with season i.e. highly significant (P
