Campylobacter spp. are often found on poultry meat and can cause gastroenteritis in human. The aim of this study was to detect thermophilic Campylobacter species in quail, partridge, and ostrich meat in Ahvaz, Iran. From July 2009 to February 2010, samples of quail (n = 50), partridge (n = 30) and ostrich (n = 24) meat for sale in retail outlets in Ahvaz, Iran, were analyzed for the presence of Campylobacter. Campylobacter sp. was isolated from 28 of 50 (58%) quail meat, 9 of 30 (30%) partridge meat and 3 of 24 (12.5%) ostrich meat samples. Of the 40 Campylobacter positive samples 90% (36) samples had Campylobacter jejuni and 10% (4) C. coli. The study concluded that high proportion of poultry meats marketed in Ahvaz, Iran is contaminated by Campylobacter with a possible risk to human health.
