Real-time PCR detection of Coxiella burnetii in dairy products in Kwara State, Nigeria: a public health concern.
BMC Vet Res
January 2025
Department of Food Hygiene and Environmental Health, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland.
Background: Coxiella burnetii is the etiological agent of Q fever in humans, a zoonosis of increasingly important public health concern. The disease results in significant economic losses to livestock farmers and its presence in ready-to-eat dairy products poses a public health threat to consumers.
Aim: This study aimed to detect Coxiella burnetii in dairy products in Kwara State, Nigeria.
Investigation of Microbial Quality of Milk and Milk Products and Isolations of Some Major Bacteria in the Central and Northwestern Zones of Tigray, Ethiopia.

Department of Biology, Aksum University, Axum, Ethiopia.
Safety and quality of milk and milk products are an increasing concern worldwide. Milk and milk products are major causes of milk-borne diseases due to contamination with microorganisms resulting from a lack of standard milk handling procedures and hygienic practices. Thus, the study aims to investigate the microbial quality and safety of cow milk and milk products and isolate some bacteria in Tigray.

Article Synopsis
- Historically, infant diarrhea was a major cause of mortality, with beliefs attributing it to artificial feeding, teething, and heat, while breastfed infants seemed less affected.
- Research in the past distinguished between different grades of the disease and identified chronic diarrhea leading to severe complications like dehydration and emaciation; however, it was only around the mid-20th century that connections to bacterial infections were more clearly recognized.
- Despite discovering the bacterial origins of infant diarrhea in the 1860s, meaningful hygienic changes took decades to implement due to biases favoring raw milk, which slowed the acceptance of pasteurization and food safety measures.
Zoonotic risks of pathogens from dairy cattle and their milk-borne transmission.

Wennink Consultancy and Interim Management, Oss, The Netherlands.
Article Synopsis
- Dairy products provide essential protein and nutrients, and their production significantly benefits economies, but there are zoonotic risks connected to raw milk and farm staff's contact with cattle.
- Major bacterial, viral, and parasitic pathogens relevant to dairy cattle can lead to health issues; however, the risk of zoonotic virus contamination in milk is minimal in developed regions like the Netherlands.
- To minimize these risks, maintaining hygiene standards, using pasteurized milk, and monitoring pathogen presence are crucial for farm workers' safety and public health.
A systematic literature review of the effectiveness of tick-borne encephalitis vaccines in Europe.

Article Synopsis
- Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is an infectious disease caused by the tick-borne encephalitis virus, prevalent in over 25 European nations, where two vaccines (FSME-IMMUN® and Encepur®) are commonly administered but lack robust real-world effectiveness reviews.
- A systematic search of studies in PubMed identified 13 studies from various European countries (2003-2023) which showed that TBE vaccines were highly effective (over 92% effectiveness) against TBEV infection and severe outcomes, across all age groups.
- The findings suggest that TBE vaccines significantly prevent thousands of TBE cases annually, avoiding hospitalizations and fatalities, although detailed effectiveness data is still limited to a few countries
