	abstract = {<p>Members of the genus Campylobacter have established themselves as the most common human gastro-enteric pathogens throughout much of the developed world. The ubiquitous distribution of Campylobacter spp. in animal reservoirs and food products derived thereof make such vehicles primary risk factors in contracting campylobacteriosis. The contamination rates, identification of common pathogenic serotypes and extended survival of Campylobacter in surface waters illustrates the potential, but yet to be quantified, campylobacteriosis risk associated with untreated water. The existence and potential pathogenicity of viable but nonculturable forms of Campylobacter remains a contentious subject. Furthermore. the role of such forms in the epidemiology of Campylobacter related disease and their involvement in the large number of waterborne gastroenteritis outbreaks from which a disease agent cannot be isolated remains to be fully clarified. This article presents a survey of current perspectives with regard to the survival and epidemiology of Campylobacter spp. in natural water systems</p>
