Among them, viruses, such as the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), influenza (flu) A and B, parainfluenza (PIV) 1, 2 and 3 and adenovirus (AdV), are capable of penetrating the initial defenses of the upper respiratory tract (UTR), infect the lower respiratory tract (LRT) and cause a great burden in terms of severe disease in humans [1]. RSV causes significant morbidity and mortality in children younger...

Introduction Blood-feeding parasites have been reported to be the vectors of broad spectrum of disease agents since a long history. Ticks are one of those blood-sucking arthropods, responsible for a huge variety of heavy economic losses, caused by the direct effect of infestation, by injecting their toxins, through high morbidity and mortality, or by damaging the hides, and most importantly the reduction in production by...

Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) is the most significant health problem of the beef industry which affects the lower respiratory tract / lungs or upper respiratory tract. It can manifest when cattle stress levels are raised due to weaning, shipping, processing, adverse weather, and overcrowding and this compromises the defense mechanisms of the immune system. Since it is always more convenient to focus on prevention than treatment, BRD vaccines are...

Dairy herd health involves many factors such as nutrition, housing, environmental conditions, vaccination programs and the introduction of herd replacements. These factors act together to influence the effectiveness of a herd health program and its ability to prevent and control diseases. An extremely important but poorly understood herd health management practice is the stimulation of the immune system of young replacement heifers and of mature cows to provide an appropriate level of immune...

It is the most common infectious disease in farmed animals. Around one million cases occur each year in the UK. It is painful, occasionally life threatening, and costs the dairy industry £200m every year in lost production and treatments. Within the UK alone it has been estimated that around 12m doses of antibiotic are used annually to control and treat mastitis in cattle. Now The University of Nottingham, with funding worth £2.2m, is to carry out a study of the most common cause of...

An effective vaccine against a parasite-borne disease called neosporosis may be a few steps closer to development, thanks to Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientists and cooperators. Neosporosis, caused by the parasite Neospora caninum, affects cattle worldwide. Infected animals often abort their calves and develop other debilitating complications that can cost producers millions of dollars every year. Animal scientist Wenbin Tuo and microbiologist Mark Jenkins work at the...
