Faculty of Medical Sciences, The University of the West Indies, St. Augustine Campus, Trinidad and Tobago This research looks at the seroprevalence of anti-Salmonella antibodies in humans and chickens from Jamaica, West Indies. These antibodies were assessed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and showed that 11.3% (6 out 53) human samples and 95.3% (102 out of 107) IgY samples had the presence of anti-Salmonella antibodies. These results suggest the presence of Salmonellosis as a contaminant in humans and endemic state in birds, which not necessarily means active disease. http://pubs.sciepub.com/ajphr/7/6/1/ajphr-7-6-1.pdf immunoepidemiology seroprevalence anti-Salmonella antibody humans chickens enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) Jamaica
