United States raw milk debate prior to symptom onset." Milk collected or stored in unsanitary conditions may harbor a host of disease-causing organisms (pathogens), such as "tuberculosis" (Mycobacterium bovis), the bacteria "Campylobacter" (Campylobacteriosis), "Escherichia" E. coli O157:H7), "Listeria" (Listeriosis), "Salmonella" (Salmonellosis), "Yersinia" (Yersinia enterocolitica), and "Brucella" (Brucellosis). Pasteurization consistently removes all of these pathogens, though they can be reintroduced if the product is handled carelessly. Thus dairy farms that pasteurize their milk can have unsanitary facilities without the attendant outbreaks of disease that would occur if a raw milk dairy kept its herds in similar unsanitary conditions. People with weakened immune systems, such as elderly,
Swine brucellosis Swine also develop orchitis (swelling of the testicles), lameness (movement disability), hind limb paralysis, or spondylitis (inflammation in joints). Because "B. suis" is facultative and intracellular, and is able to adapt to environmental conditions in macrophages, treatment failure and relapse rates are high. The only effective way to control and eradicate zoonosis is by vaccination of all susceptible hosts and elimination of infected animals. The "Brucella abortus" (rough LPS "Brucella") vaccine, developed for bovine brucellosis and licensed by the USDA Animal Plant Health Inspection Service, has shown protection for some swine and is also effective against "B. suis" infection, but
