The prevalence and risk factors for human Brucella species infection in a cross-sectional survey of a rural population in Punjab, India

Abstract

An association with calving/abortions and goat's milk consumption was seen. Brucella vaccination of household livestock would reduce the risk to humans in such settings. Additional measures include biosecurity training around calving/abortions, education to boil all milk and for healthcare workers to test for brucellosis.
