During November and December 1981 more than 50 residents in a village in Derbyshire had an acute gastrointestinal illness. One month later a second outbreak occurred affecting another 22 people. Campylobacter jejuni was isolated from 12 patients; no other gastrointestinal pathogens were identified. A case-control study showed an association with the consumption of unpasteurized milk from one particular farm. No new cases were identified for 6 months following the application of a Pasteurization Order from 26 January to 23 February 1982.

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.

Sheep were domesticated around 9000 BC in the Middle East, and since then milk from sheep gradually became very popular, not only for drinking but also for making cheeses and other dairy products. Nowadays, these dairy products are also important for people with an allergy to cow milk, and these products are an essential part of the local daily diet in regions of the world that are not suitable for cows and goats. Consumption of raw milk and raw milk products has a zoonotic risk, and with regard to sheep, the main pathogens associated with such dairy products are: , spp.

Shiga toxin-producing (STEC) and are notable health hazards associated with the consumption of raw milk. These bacteria may colonize the intestines of asymptomatic cattle and enter bulk tank milk via fecal contamination during milking. We studied the frequency of STEC O157:H7 and contamination in tank milk ( = 785) and the in-line milk filters of milking machines ( = 631) versus the frequency of isolation from cattle feces ( = 257) on three Finnish dairy farms for 1 year.
