Milk as a vector of transmission of bovine tuberculosis to humans in Spain : a historical perspective
Gutiérrez García, José Manuel (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament de Filosofia)

Data:	2006
Resum:	As was the case with meat, the detection of the tuberculosis bacterium in cattle resulted in the attribution of an important role to milk in human tuberculosis infection. However, the case of milk had a more serious impact with graver consequences that did meat. In effect, milk was the principal foodstuff by means of which tuberculosis was passed from cattle to humans-indeed it could be sais that it was the only effective vector that carried the bovine bacterium to the human organism. In light of this information, this article makes de the case that milk acted as the most common means of transmission of bovine tuberculosis to humans, taking particular note of the problem of the hygienic milk supply in Spain.
