Outline of Final Research Achievements

The objective of this research was revised from the cost-utility analysis itself to comparative institutional analysis on the control of campylobacteriosis in chicken food chain. For that purpose, chicken meat preparation and distribution for raw consumption in southern Kyushu region was investigated. In addition, interviews with the experts in Northern European countries indicate that the control strategy against campylobacter depends on the market structure. In concrete, ‘testing and freezing’ strategy is viable only in EFTA countries where the market for frozen chicken meat is protected from foreign chicken.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

市場構造が鶏肉のカンピロバクター汚染対策に影響を与えていると思われる状況が海外の事例から複数観察され、比較制度的な分析への展望が開かれた。また、今後鶏肉（なかでも生食可製品）のトレーサビリティの整備が進むことが前提ではあるが、疾病負荷に関する研究やリスク評価事例と組み合わせることで、例えば「意図せざる生食」のコントロールによってどの程度のリスク削減が可能であるかの情報を提供することが可能になると考えられる。
