Brucellosis
notes
HOW IS
BEUCELOSSIS SPREAD?
It is commonly tran
smitted to susceptible
animals by direct contact
with infected animals. It is
also transmitted to
susceptible animals in
contact with an environment
which has been con
taminated with discharges
from infected animals.
Aborted fetuses, placental
membrances, placental
fluids, and the vaginal
discharge that persists for
several weeks after an
animal has aborted all teem
with virulent Brucella. Cows
may lick those materials or
the gential area of other
cows, or ingest the disease
causing organisms with
contaminated food or water.
Despite occasional ex
ceptions, the general rule is
that brucellosis is carried
from one herd to another by
an infected or exposed
animal. This occurs when a
herd owner buys
replacement cattle which
are infected or have been
exposed to infection prior to
purchase. In other words,

Brucellosis
notes
HOW CAN PEOPLE
BE PROTECTED FROM
BRUCELLOSIS?
Ranchers or farmers
should take the precaution of
cleaning areas likely to
become infected and keeping
them clean. They should
wear gloves when assisting
cows calving or sows
farrowing and ones that
abort, and scrub well af
terward. Habits of personal
and area cleanliness are
important eventhough no
known diseased animals are
involved. Just as important
is the precaution against
consuming raw milk or its
by-products. Pasterurization
is a very simple and quick
measure which can prevent
much suffering. Ultimately,
the best prevention will be
eradication of brucellosis in
livestock, thus eliminating
the only source of human
infection.
