During disease surveillance in Kenya, a series of deaths were investigated among a group of nomadic Gabra in Marsabit. The cause was identified as botulism (Clostridium botulinum Type A), contracted from sour milk prepared traditionally in a gourd. Reported outbreaks of botulism in Africa would appear to be extremely rare.
在肯尼亚进行疾病监测期间,对马萨比特一群游牧的加布拉人中发生的一系列死亡事件展开了调查。病因被确定为肉毒中毒(A型肉毒杆菌),是通过传统方法用葫芦制作的酸牛奶感染所致。在非洲,报道的肉毒中毒疫情似乎极为罕见。
