Abstract:
Campylobacter jejuni is the leading cause of gastroenteritis in humans, and
chickens are the primary vector for infection. The microbe colonises the caeca of
birds as a commensal, and it is hypothesised that intestinal defences regulate
colonisation. Identifying birds with enhanced abilities to clear C. jejuni would enable
the selective breeding of colonisation resistant birds. However, the caecal immune
response to C. jejuni has been poorly characterised to date and is the basis of this
thesis.
