The organism may also cause potentially serious illness in people who have contact with infected animals or drink unpasteurised, contaminated milk. Control of the disease is therefore essential to protect human health, animal health, food security and farmers’ incomes.2 pages : 1 color photoPDF fileen©University of Pretoria, Faculty of Veterinary Science.
