Caprine brucellosis outbreak in Jujuy

Overview

Authorities in Jujuy, Argentina, have launched a prevention and control operation following the detection of two human cases of caprine brucellosis. Officials believe the infections are linked to the consumption of irregular, artisanal goat cheeses produced from foreign milk that entered the country without proper sanitary certifications or traceability.

In response, a multi-agency task force including the Ministry of Security, the National Gendarmerie, and SENASA will intensify inspections at provincial borders, fairs, and shops to verify product origin and sanitary records. Health officials have advised the public to boil milk for five minutes and to only purchase dairy products from verified sources.
