Brucellosis outbreak in IdahoMonday, January 2, 2006Meatingplace.com Brucellosis has been detected in two herds of Idaho cattle, according to the International Society for Infectious Diseases. The disease can result in spontaneous abortions, infertility and decreased milk output in cattle, and can infect humans in close proximity to cattle. Canadian officials said that they were monitoring the situation, and are allowing cattle from Idaho into the country only if they are sent immediately to slaughter. USDA is investigating the outbreaks and may change Idaho's brucellosis-free status. |
