Brucellosis - Prevention

Alternative Names

Rock fever; Cyprus fever; Undulant fever; Gibraltar fever; Malta fever

Prevention:

Drinking and eating only pasteurized cheeses and milk is the most important preventative measure. People who handle meat should wear protective glasses and clothing and protect skin breaks from infection. Detecting infected animals controls the infection at its source. Vaccination is available for cattle, but not humans.
