A goat was brought to the school's courtyard to shed light on the transmission of
Malta fever. The idea behind the levity was to bring attention to the facts about the disease, rather than stigmatizing the illnesses or creating any sort of fear mongering.
The other diseases targeted include brucellosis in sheep and goats from Southern Member States, which causes
Malta fever in humans.
Editorial Note: Brucellosis (also termed undulant, Mediterranean, or
Malta fever) is a febrile illness caused by several species of bacteria of the genus Brucella [paragraph].
