In conclusion, the evidence presented in this study supports a likely association between campylobacter infection and ownership of pet puppies and pet chickens.
The agents frequently distributed gifts of venison, cider, and even puppies and plants to local landowners, stewards and other influential people.
However, there are important differences between the two studies - fox cubs were absent from the present study whereas puppies comprised 25% of the canine study.
Two puppies died, one from bleeding from the femoral artery and the other from thrombotic obstruction at the superior mesenteric artery, both after successful implantation.
The puppies tested in all the groups had good clinical recovery.
Angiographic studies showed satisfactory opacities of the branch arteries in all but one puppy.
Most puppies are born with the amniotic sac intact.
The route of transmission of infection to young children is probably similar to that for puppies and young children.
