Reports of campylobacteriosis in the United Kingdom have increased
since the 1990s and continue to exceed the combined incidence of all
other reportable gastrointestinal pathogens (1,2); see graph (3) at
http://www.gideononline.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/GE-UK.png.
Campylobacteriosis rates in Scotland are similar to those of England
and Wales, while those of Northern Ireland more closely resemble rates
reported by the Irish Republic; see graph at
