Answer: - Typhoid fever, septic sore throat, Undulant fever, tuberculosis, scarlet fever, diphtheria, dysentery and other intestinal troubles, especially in infants and children. 2. How do these disease producing bacteria get into the milk? Answer: - Bacteria can be in the milk if it comes from a diseased cow or they may get into the milk from the cow's excreta or from an inflammation of the cow's udder. Milk may be contaminated by the milker, in other words, from a milk handler who is either ill or a carrier of the disease germs. Milk may also be contaminated by flies, other insects and rodents or from improperly cleaned utensils, dirty stables, careless handling or inadequate cooking and refrigeration. 3. What is the connection between Undulant fever and Bangs Disease in cattle? Answer - In 1897 Dr. Bernard Bang, a Danish veterinarian identified the organism that causes contagious abortion in cattle. Then about 1923 Dr. Alice Evans, an American, proved that the organisms of these two diseases were virtually identical.
