Man Is Susceptible To
Some Animal Diseases
A sick animal is a menace to your own health.
Dr. W. B. Bell, veterinarian at VPI, says there are many, and some very common, diseases of livestock which are transmissible to man—a fact farmers often forget.
For instance, the bacteria that causes bovine brucellosis or Bang’s disease cause undulant fever in man. Farmers may contract undulant fever by handling aborted calves from infected cattle, by handling the infected animals, and by handling and drinking raw milk from infected cows. The disease also is found in goats and pigs and can be passed on to man. Farmers can protect themselves by drinking only pasteurized milk, by disposing of infected animals if possible, and by adopting a plan of brucellosis control that will enable them to develop non-infected herds.
