Indian journos should also be well trained journos in public hygiene, epidemiology and medical science. Special journo posts for such people are necessary. Truly speaking, highest body of Indian journalists should consider this point. Brucellosis is not a viral disease. It is caused by a group of bacteria belonging to the genus, brucella., buffaloes, goat, sheeps, deers, ox, other cattles, dogs etc. are some of agents from which, bacteria enters in the human body.
