The plains of Campania around Naples are home to large water buffalo herds and 30% of the herds are reported to be infected with bacterial disease called Brucellosis.The disease can be transmitted through food to humans causing sever intermittent fever.
The Italian government decided to slaughter 32 000 infected buffalos in coming two months.
The production of Italian fresh cheese Mozzarella is under threat.
It is puzzling why the authorities could not detect such wide spread infection earlier.
Where were health inspectors,the farms veterinaries and cheese manufacturers laboratories?
It all happened while we were enjoying with closed eyes,pizza with fresh mozzarella, lasagne and sun dried tomatoes with fresh Italian cheese.
