Wild birds were observed in abundance at marketplaces, residential areas, and farms. It was reported that wild birds may harbor and transmit Campylobacter jejuni to farm animals and residential areas. This review simply describes the possibility of wild birds spreading Campylobacter Jejuni in the environment.
