Recent literature suggests that climate may play a role in the prevalence of these pathogens along the food chain. This study used integrated surveillance data to examine associations between weather variables, serving as a proxy for climate, in agricultural areas and <jats:italic>Campylobacter,<\/jats:italic> generic <jats:italic>E. coli<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>Salmonella<\/jats:italic> contamination on samples of beef, poultry and swine meat products in Canada. Various temperature metrics (average, maximum and variability) were correlated with <jats:italic>Campylobacter<\/jats:italic> prevalence along the food chain. The prevalence of <jats:italic>E. coli<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>Salmonella<\/jats:italic> was correlated with both precipitation and temperatures metrics; however, analysis for <jats:italic>E. coli<\/jats:italic> was limited to beef and swine meats at retail settings, because prevalence in other combinations approached 100%, which obviated further analysis. <jats:italic>Campylobacter<\/jats:italic> contamination in poultry and swine at abattoir and retail settings demonstrated a seasonal trend, with increased prevalence generally from June or July through November, compared to the baseline month of December. Based on these analyses, <jats:italic>Campylobacter<\/jats:italic> is the most likely foodborne bacteria studied whose occurrence in meat products is affected by climatic changes in Canada. An exploratory analysis of data at the provincial scale, using Ontario as an example, revealed similar directional relationships between climate and bacterial prevalence.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0950268819000797","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,9]],"date-time":"2019-05-09T05:40:20Z","timestamp":1557380420000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":49,"title":["Seasonality and zoonotic foodborne pathogens in Canada: relationships between climate and <i>Campylobacter, E<\/i>. <i>coli<\/i> and <i>Salmonella<\/i> in meat products"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"147","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0956-7743","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"B.
