Campylobacter fetus – The Sheep Shearing Spillover | Rare Livestock Infection

Описание: Campylobacter fetus is a rare zoonotic bacterial infection commonly found in sheep and cattle. Unlike typical Campylobacter foodborne illness, this strain can enter the bloodstream and spread throughout the body, causing serious and sometimes life-threatening complications.

Human infection is most often linked to livestock exposure during sheep shearing, farming, veterinary work, or handling contaminated animals. Once inside the body, Campylobacter fetus can evade immune defenses, leading to sepsis, endocarditis, meningitis, and severe pregnancy complications including miscarriage and stillbirth.

Because early symptoms are often mild and flu-like, diagnosis is frequently delayed until the infection becomes systemic. This video breaks down how a routine farm task can turn into a dangerous spillover infection, why this bacteria behaves differently from common food poisoning pathogens, and how it causes deep tissue and bloodstream damage.
