Dogs have been identified as carriers of S<\/jats:styled-content>almonella<\/jats:italic>, G<\/jats:styled-content>iardia<\/jats:italic> and C<\/jats:styled-content>ampylobacter<\/jats:italic> spp., particularly C<\/jats:styled-content>ampylobacter upsaliensis<\/jats:italic>, but little is known about the prevalence and risk factors for these pathogens in pet dogs that visit dog parks. This study examined the prevalence of these organisms in the faeces of dogs visiting dog parks in three cities in south\u2010western Ontario, as well as risk factors for shedding C<\/jats:styled-content>ampylobacter<\/jats:italic> spp. and C<\/jats:styled-content>.\u00a0upsaliensis<\/jats:italic>. From M<\/jats:styled-content>ay to A<\/jats:styled-content>ugust 2009, canine faecal samples were collected at ten dog parks in the cities of G<\/jats:styled-content>uelph and K<\/jats:styled-content>itchener\u2010W<\/jats:styled-content>aterloo, O<\/jats:styled-content>ntario, C<\/jats:styled-content>anada. Owners were asked to complete a questionnaire related to pet characteristics and management factors including age, diet and activities in which the dog participates. Faecal samples were collected from 251 dogs, and 189 questionnaires were completed. S<\/jats:styled-content>almonella<\/jats:italic>, G<\/jats:styled-content>iardia<\/jats:italic> and C<\/jats:styled-content>ampylobacter<\/jats:italic> spp. were present in 1.2%, 6.4% and 43.0% of faecal samples, respectively. Of the Campylobacter<\/jats:italic> spp. detected, 86.1% were C<\/jats:styled-content>.\u00a0upsaliensis<\/jats:italic>, 13% were C<\/jats:styled-content>.\u00a0jejuni<\/jats:italic> and 0.9% were C<\/jats:styled-content>.\u00a0coli<\/jats:italic>. Statistically significant sparing factors associated with the shedding of C<\/jats:styled-content>ampylobacter<\/jats:italic> spp. included the feeding of a commercial dry diet and the dog's exposure to compost. Age of dog had a quadratic effect, with young dogs and senior dogs having an increased probability of shedding C<\/jats:styled-content>ampylobacter<\/jats:italic> spp. compared with adult dogs. The only statistically significant risk factor for shedding C<\/jats:styled-content>.\u00a0upsaliensis<\/jats:italic> was outdoor water access including lakes and ditches, while dogs >1\u00a0year old were at a lower risk than young dogs. Understanding the pet\u2010related risk factors for C<\/jats:styled-content>ampylobacter<\/jats:italic> spp. and C<\/jats:styled-content>.\u00a0upsaliensis<\/jats:italic> shedding in dogs may help in the development of awareness and management strategies to potentially reduce the risk of transmitting this pathogen from dogs to humans.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/zph.12062","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,6,27]],"date-time":"2013-06-27T03:27:47Z","timestamp":1372303667000},"page":"208-218","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":36,"title":["A Cross\u2010Sectional Study Examining C<\/scp>ampylobacter<\/i> and Other Zoonotic Enteric Pathogens in Dogs that Frequent Dog Parks in Three Cities in South\u2010Western Ontario and Risk Factors for Shedding of C<\/scp>ampylobacter<\/i> spp."],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"61","author":[{"given":"T.
