Résumé :	[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS qR0xurBp. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives : This case-control study investigated risk factors for campylobacteriosis in a rural population. Exposure to live farm animals was hypothesized to increase the risk for Campylobacter jejuni enteritis. Methods : Incident cases from rural counties reported to the Michigan Department of Community Health and matched controls completed a self-administered postal questionnaire. Results : Persons engaged in poultry husbandry had increased odds of campylobacteriosis (odds ratio=6.884 ; 95% confidence interval (Cl)=1.438,32.954). There was evidence for a dose-response relationship between the number of types of poultry contact and campylobacteriosis. Conclusions : We estimate that 18% (95% Cl=6%, 30%) of Campylobacter cases occurring in rural populations are attributable to poultry husbandry. Cases occurred in individuals who were not poultry farmers by occupation.
