Lab tests confirmed twenty new people from Bulgaria's town of Harmanli are infected with brucellosis on Wednesday.
A total of 36 animals were previously declared infected with brucellosis in Harmanli.
About 2,000 other samples collected from animals and some 100 ones collected from people were examined in the beginning of September.
There is still no final conclusion on how the bacteria were introduced to the town.
Some veterinarians say it might have been brought to the town as a result of illegal trade with infected animals, imported from Greece, where such cases are common.
Another hypothesis is that bacteria was brought to the place due to buying cattle from farmers from the village of Vulche pole, which was imposed quarantine after it was also hit by the deadly bacteria. There has even been registered a case of infected elderly woman.
That was the first time in sixty years that an outbreak of the dangerous disease is detected in Bulgaria.
Brucellosis is an infectious disease caused by the bacteria of the genus Brucella. These bacteria are primarily passed among animals and causes them to miscarry.
Humans become infected by coming in contact with animals or animal products that are contaminated with these bacteria. In humans brucellosis can cause a range of symptoms that are similar to the flu and may include fever, sweats, headaches, back pains, and physical weakness. Severe infections of the central nervous systems or lining of the heart may occur. Brucellosis can also cause long-lasting or chronic symptoms that include recurrent fevers, joint pain, and fatigue.
