Oxidative stress is a normal occurrence during the immune system’s inflammatory response to infection or injury. Inflammation plays a vital role in the body’s response to pathogens and tissue damage. However, considerable evidence now points to oxidative stress from chronic inflammation as a contributing factor in a number of health and production disorders in cattle. Research suggests that oxidative stress in dairy...

Zoonotic tuberculosis (TB) is a chronic infectious disease of humans caused by transmission of Mycobacterium bovis from cattle (1). M. bovis infection in humans occurs after direct contact with infected cattle, ingestion of unpasteurized dairy products or raw or undercooked meat, or (rarely) person-to-person transmission (2). Despite the low incidence of zoonotic tuberculosis in the Americas, accumulating evidence confirms that...
