The key overarching outcome is reduction of the incidence of Campylobacter infection in humans through reductions in:

• the level of the bacterium in animal hosts
• the potential for cross-contamination throughout the food chain

Scope

The aim of this SBRI competition is ultimately reduction of the incidence of Campylobacter infection in humans by:

• providing farmers with tools to monitor the Campylobacter status of their flocks and so inform on best practice to keep flocks Campylobacter free

Topic : Feasibility of developing a rapid, on-site test for Campylobacter

There is a requirement for a rapid, accurate, cheap test that can be deployed on farms to identify Campylobacter infection. This test would be used to inform actions on the farm and would need to be simple and robust enough for farm workers to use.
