Abstract
Summary: The One Health Poultry Hub conducted multiple work packages on poultry intensification and risk, including a study on Campylobacter and nontyphoidal Salmonella infections among retail chicken shop workers in India. Here, we highlight the experience of administering questionnaires and collecting stool and blood samples from these workers and chickens in multiple cities in Tamil Nadu state. The significant challenges noted were as follows: (i) selecting and locating shops, (ii) obtaining consent and collecting samples, and (iii) timely transport of samples to the laboratory. Similar challenges may be faced in One Health studies in poultry and other animal health sectors in low-resource settings.
摘要:One Health Poultry Hub开展了多个关于家禽集约和风险的工作包,包括对印度零售鸡肉店工人中弯曲杆菌和非伤寒沙门氏菌感染的研究。在这里,我们强调在泰米尔纳德邦多个城市对这些工人和鸡进行问卷调查和收集粪便和血液样本的经验。所指出的重大挑战如下:(i)选择和定位商店,(ii)获得同意和收集样本,以及(iii)及时将样本运送到实验室。同一健康组织在资源匮乏地区的家禽和其他动物卫生部门开展的研究也可能面临类似的挑战。
