Effects of knowledge, attitudes, and practices of poultry handlers on the prevalence of Campylobacter along the poultry production chain in peninsular Malaysia
The present work aimed to identify the effects of knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of poultry handlers on the prevalence of Campylobacter along the poultry production chain in Peninsular Malaysia. A total of 1230 microbiological samples were collected from five companies in different Malays...
