&lt;h1&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Brucellosis: Symptoms, Causes &amp;amp; Treatment&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p data-path-to-node=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Brucellosis is a bacterial infection that primarily spreads from animals to humans. The most common route of transmission is the consumption of raw or unpasteurized dairy products. However, the bacteria can also be contracted through direct physical contact with infected animals or by inhaling contaminated air in specific high-risk work environments.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Symptoms and Treatment&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-path-to-node=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;The clinical signs of brucellosis can vary but frequently include:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;4,0,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Persistent fever&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;4,1,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Joint pain&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;4,2,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Extreme fatigue or lethargy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p data-path-to-node=&quot;5&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;While the infection is typically treated with a course of antibiotics, the recovery process is often lengthy, lasting from several weeks to a few months. It is important to monitor health closely after treatment, as the infection has a tendency to recur.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Global Impact and Prevention&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-path-to-node=&quot;7&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Brucellosis remains a significant health concern for both humans and animals worldwide. To reduce the risk of infection, follow these preventative measures:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;8,0,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;8,0,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Avoid Raw Dairy:&lt;/strong&gt; Do not consume unpasteurized milk, cheese, or other dairy derivatives.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;8,1,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;8,1,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Workplace Safety:&lt;/strong&gt; Exercise extreme caution and use protective equipment when working in laboratories, animal processing facilities, or direct agricultural settings.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Brucellosis Symptoms&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p data-path-to-node=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Symptoms of brucellosis can manifest anywhere from a few days to several months following initial exposure. The early clinical signs often mimic those of the influenza virus and typically include:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;2,0,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;2,0,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Systemic Distress:&lt;/strong&gt; Fever, chills, and excessive sweating.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;2,1,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;2,1,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Physical Exhaustion:&lt;/strong&gt; General weakness, persistent tiredness, and a noticeable loss of appetite.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;2,2,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;2,2,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Aches and Pains:&lt;/strong&gt; Frequent headaches along with pain in the joints, muscles, and back.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p data-path-to-node=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;A characteristic of this infection is its tendency to vanish for weeks or months only to reappear later.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chronic Brucellosis and Long-Term Effects&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-path-to-node=&quot;5&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;In some instances, individuals develop chronic brucellosis, where symptoms persist for years despite receiving treatment. These long-term complications can be severe and may include:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;6,0,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;6,0,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Recurring Fevers and Fatigue:&lt;/strong&gt; Ongoing bouts of high temperature and exhaustion.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;6,1,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;6,1,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Endocarditis:&lt;/strong&gt; A serious inflammation of the inner lining of the heart chambers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;6,2,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;6,2,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Chronic Joint Issues:&lt;/strong&gt; Persistent arthritis, specifically affecting the joints.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;6,3,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;6,3,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Spinal Inflammation:&lt;/strong&gt; Spondylitis (inflammation of the spinal bones) or sacroiliitis (inflammation where the spine meets the pelvis).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Brucellosis Causes&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p data-path-to-node=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Many animal species carry the &lt;em data-path-to-node=&quot;1&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;30&quot;&gt;Brucella&lt;/em&gt; bacteria, often without showing visible signs of illness. Species known to transmit the infection to humans include:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;2,0,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;2,0,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Livestock:&lt;/strong&gt; Cattle, goats, sheep, pigs, and camels.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;2,1,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;2,1,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Wild Game:&lt;/strong&gt; Wild hogs, deer, elk, bison, caribou, and moose.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;2,2,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;2,2,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Canines:&lt;/strong&gt; Dogs, particularly those utilized for hunting.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;2,3,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;2,3,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Marine Life:&lt;/strong&gt; Certain forms of the bacteria also affect harbor seals, porpoises, and whales.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How the Infection Spreads to Humans&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-path-to-node=&quot;4&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;The bacteria typically transition from animals to people through three primary routes:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;5,0,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;5,0,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Consumption of Raw Products:&lt;/strong&gt; The most frequent cause is ingesting unpasteurized dairy, such as milk, butter, ice cream, or cheese. Consumption of raw or undercooked meat from infected animals also poses a significant risk.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;5,1,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;5,1,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Inhalation:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em data-path-to-node=&quot;5,1,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;12&quot;&gt;Brucella&lt;/em&gt; bacteria can become airborne. Individuals in high-risk occupations&amp;mdash;such as laboratory technicians, farmers, slaughterhouse employees, and hunters- may breathe in the bacteria.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;5,2,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;5,2,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Direct Fluid Contact:&lt;/strong&gt; Bacteria found in an animal&#39;s blood, semen, or placenta can enter the human bloodstream through open cuts or wounds. While general contact like petting or grooming is rarely a source of infection, immunocompromised individuals should avoid contact with dogs known to carry the disease.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Person-to-Person Transmission&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-path-to-node=&quot;7&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Human-to-human transmission is extremely rare. In isolated cases, the infection has been passed from mother to infant during childbirth or through breastfeeding. Other rare instances include transmission via sexual activity or contaminated blood and bone marrow transfusions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-path-to-node=&quot;7&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 data-path-to-node=&quot;7&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;When to See a Doctor&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p data-path-to-node=&quot;7&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Early diagnosis of brucellosis can be challenging, as its initial symptoms frequently mirror those of the flu. If you believe you have been exposed to the bacteria and experience a persistent or rapidly rising fever, muscle aches, or unexplained weakness, you should seek a medical evaluation immediately.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-path-to-node=&quot;7&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Risk Factors&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p data-path-to-node=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;While brucellosis is relatively uncommon in the United States, it remains a frequent health concern in several other regions worldwide. Individuals living in or traveling to the following areas should exercise caution:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;2,0,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;2,0,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Europe:&lt;/strong&gt; Southern Europe (including Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece, Turkey, and Southern France) and Eastern Europe.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;2,1,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;2,1,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;The Americas:&lt;/strong&gt; Mexico, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;2,2,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;2,2,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Other Regions:&lt;/strong&gt; Large portions of Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Occupations with Increased Exposure&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-path-to-node=&quot;4&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Certain professional roles involve frequent contact with animals or potentially infected biological materials, leading to a higher risk of infection. These include:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;5,0,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;5,0,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Clinical and Laboratory Staff:&lt;/strong&gt; Microbiologists and laboratory technicians handling bacterial cultures.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;5,1,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;5,1,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Animal Healthcare:&lt;/strong&gt; Veterinarians and veterinary assistants.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;5,2,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;5,2,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Agricultural and Food Processing:&lt;/strong&gt; Dairy farmers, ranchers, and slaughterhouse employees.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;5,3,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;5,3,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Wildlife Interaction:&lt;/strong&gt; Hunters and game wardens.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Complications&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p data-path-to-node=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Brucellosis is a systemic infection that can impact various organs, including the liver, heart, reproductive system, and central nervous system. When the condition becomes chronic, it can lead to long-term complications in specific areas of the body:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;2,0,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;2,0,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Endocarditis:&lt;/strong&gt; This is an inflammation of the heart&#39;s inner lining and is considered the most critical complication. If left untreated, it can severely damage heart valves and remains the primary cause of death associated with the disease.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;2,1,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;2,1,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Chronic Arthritis:&lt;/strong&gt; The infection frequently causes pain, swelling, and stiffness in the joints, particularly the knees, wrists, hips, and ankles. Inflammatory conditions like spondylitis (spinal inflammation) or sacroiliitis (inflammation of the pelvic-spine connection) are especially difficult to treat and can result in permanent mobility issues.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;2,2,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;2,2,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Reproductive System Infections:&lt;/strong&gt; In men, the bacteria can cause epididymo-orchitis, an infection of the epididymis and testicles. This often leads to severe pain and significant swelling.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;2,3,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;2,3,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Spleen and Liver Enlargement:&lt;/strong&gt; The infection can cause both the liver and the spleen to become abnormally enlarged, affecting their normal function.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;2,4,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;2,4,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Central Nervous System Disorders:&lt;/strong&gt; Brucellosis can lead to life-threatening conditions such as meningitis (inflammation of the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord) or encephalitis (inflammation of the brain itself).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Prevention&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p data-path-to-node=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;To minimize the risk of contracting brucellosis, it is essential to follow strict food safety and occupational health protocols.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;2,0,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;2,0,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Avoid Unpasteurized Dairy:&lt;/strong&gt; Consuming raw milk, cheese, or ice cream is a primary risk factor. While domestic cases are rare in some regions, it is safest to avoid all unpasteurized dairy products, especially when traveling internationally.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;2,1,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;2,1,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Practice Safe Meat Preparation:&lt;/strong&gt; Ensure all meat is cooked to safe internal temperatures to eliminate bacteria.&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;2,2,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;2,2,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Use Protective Equipment:&lt;/strong&gt; Professionals such as veterinarians, farmers, and hunters should wear heavy-duty rubber gloves when handling animal tissues, carcasses, or assisting with animal births.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;2,3,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;2,3,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Maintain Workplace Safety Standards:&lt;/strong&gt; Laboratory personnel must strictly adhere to biosafety protocols. In slaughterhouses, protective clothing should be mandatory, and the slaughtering area should be physically separated from other processing zones.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;2,4,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;2,4,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Livestock Vaccination:&lt;/strong&gt; Routine vaccination of farm animals is a highly effective preventative measure. However, because the vaccine contains a live strain of the bacteria, handlers must exercise extreme caution to avoid accidental needle-sticks, which can transmit the infection to humans.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
