Alice Catherine Evans (1881-1975) worked as a microbiologist, studying the bacteriology of milk and cheese. Thanks to her research, the cause of Brucellosis could be traced back to the consumption of raw milk. To honour Alice Evans for her work, which resulted in the pasteurisation of milk, DSMZ researchers named the strain Streptomyces evansiae (DSM 41979) after her.

Two structures of Brucella ovis leucine-, isoleucine-, valine-, threonine- and alanine-binding protein are reported that show its conformational flexibility in the absence of bound amino acids

Even in medieval times, before viruses were known, people knew to pasteurize their milk!

"Scalded milk is dairy milk that has been heated to 83 °C (181 °F). At this temperature, bacteria are killed, enzymes in the milk are destroyed, and many of the proteins are denatured."

''The early #warning requested all schools to focus on events such as #brucellosis and hemorrhagic fever. #HFMD, foodborne disease, #mumps and possible #rabies also feature on a watchlist.''
