Tick-borne Encephalitis Associated with Consumption of Raw Goat Milk, Slovenia, 2012

Abstract: Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) developed in 3 persons in Slovenia who drank raw milk; a fourth person, who had been vaccinated against TBE, remained healthy. TBE virus RNA was detected in serum and milk of the source goat. Persons in TBE-endemic areas should be encouraged to drink only boiled/pasteurized milk and to be vaccinated.

“…While it is well known that several important bacterial diseases can be attained by consuming raw milk or dairy products such as brucellosis, tuberculosis and listeriosis, not so much is known about transmission of zoonotic viruses by milk. An exception is the confirmed transmission of tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) via goat milk leading to human infection [89,90]. A study in a high TBE risk region in Poland showed 22.2% of sheep milk positive for TBEV by RT-PCR followed by goat milk (20.7%) and cow milk (11.1%) [91].…”
