Contaminated milk is responsible for up to 90% of all dairy-related diseases of humans. A cross sectional study was
carried out in Lushoto and Handeni districts of Tanga region to determine handling practices, bacterial contaminations
and selected milk-borne zoonotic pathogens along the dairy val...

Determination of risk factors contributing to microbial contamination in milk and identification of presence of selected pathogenic bacteria along dairy value chain in Tanga
There is increasing concern regarding the quality and safety of milk collected and consumed in Tanzania. The majority of milk is obtained in informal distribution channels where animals have unknown health status and good milking and handling practices are often not observed. These factors may co...

BACKGROUND
Despite the fact that foods of animal source are a minor constituent in most diets, they are responsible for incidents of food-borne illness; dairy products being implicated. Up to 90% of all dairy – related diseases are due to pathogenic bacteria found in milk. Emergence of new milk-...
