Spanish term

con una creciente incidencia a nivel mundial

Spanish to English Science Wine / Oenology / Viticulture
Estoy traduciendo un artículo sobre el efecto de los componentes fenólicos en el vino sobre la viabilidad de ciertos patógenos:

"Campylobacter jejuni es un patógeno alimentario causante de trastornos gastrointestinales **con una creciente incidencia a nivel mundial**. Se ha estudiado el poder antimicrobiano del vino y sus componentes. Vinos con 11,5º de etanol redujeron significativamente la viabilidad de C. jejuni diluidos al 25% en agua, siendo mayor el poder microbicida del vino tinto que el del blanco. "

Tengo problemas con la redacción. Para la parte anterior a la porción consultada, hasta los momentos tengo: "Campylobacter jejuni is a food pathogen which causes gastrointestinal conditions..." Me suena muy acartonado completar con "...with increasing worldwide incidence". Escucho sus opiniones.
Proposed translations (English)
4 (which is) increasingly common throughout the world/globally
5 with an ever increasing world wide effect
5 with an ever-increasing incidence at a global level
4 occurring more and more frequently worldwide
4 [and] which has been occurring more and more frequently all over the world.

Carol. Thanks a lot for the correction and for the link.
Noni Gilbert Riley Feb 27, 2008:
It'll be useful whoever came up with it - for when I have to explain it for the 99th time to the teenagers I've somehow got landed with this year!
John Cutler Feb 27, 2008:
Hi Carol, it's nice to know that I'm not the only "that" and "which" stickler. : )
Carol Gullidge Feb 27, 2008:
thanks, Noni, but I didn't make it up - just quoting from the Guardian sg, which is pretty much my bible, although I tend to use it fairly selectively
Noni Gilbert Riley Feb 27, 2008:
Nice take on defining and non-defining relative clauses Carol.
Carol Gullidge Feb 27, 2008:
so the above would read "Campylobacter jejuni is a food pathogen that causes gastrointestinal conditions..."
Carol Gullidge Feb 27, 2008:
but this house, which John built, is falling down;
the Guardian, which I read every day, is the paper that I admire above all others

note that in such examples the sentence remains grammatical without "that", but not without "which"
Carol Gullidge Feb 27, 2008:
Hi Yvonne: in yr eg above, you need to replace 'which' with 'that'. See Guardian style guide http://www.guardian.co.uk/styleguide/page/0,,184833,00.html

that or which?
that defines, which informs:
this is the house that Jack built,

(which is) increasingly common throughout the world/globally

Hi Yvonne

This is my suggestion. It seems it's not just the latter part of the phrase that is problematic but the whole sentence structure that can sound a bit wooden in English if you're not careful. How about slightly rephrasing your translation to read: "Campylobacter jejuni is a food pathogen CAUSING gastrointestinal conditions which is increasingly common throughout the world" ?

This way you avoid having two 'whiches' which (that word again) sound clumsy to me.

you could also say 'globally' if you don't like 'throughout the world'

[and] which has been occurring more and more frequently all over the world.

Some other good options here, but I really think that this sounds more natural than any of the previous choices.

Suerte.
