Abstract
In this project, we will study phylogeny of Campylobacter using whole genome sequences from humans, wild birds, and other environmental sources. The aim is to study the role of virulence factors in Campylobacter blood infection as well as wild birds and other environmental sources in the spread of Campylobacter to domestic poultry and further to humans.
