Evaluation of minor pathogen intramammary infection, susceptibility parameters, and somatic cell counts on the development of new intramammary infections with major mastitis pathogens [PDF]
Major mastitis pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus uberis, Streptococcus dysgalactiae, and coliforms are usually considered more virulent and damaging to the udder than minor mastitis pathogens such as Corynebacterium spp.

Genetic parameters for somatic cell score according to udder infection status in Valle del Belice dairy sheep and impact of imperfect diagnosis of infection [PDF]
Background Somatic cell score (SCS) has been promoted as a selection criterion to improve mastitis resistance. However, SCS from healthy and infected animals may be considered as separate traits.

Polymorphisms in bovine immune genes and their associations with somatic cell count and milk production in dairy cattle [PDF]
peer-reviewedBackground: Mastitis, an inflammation of the mammary gland, is a major source of economic loss on dairy farms. The aim of this study was to quantify the associations between two previously identified polymorphisms in the bovine toll-like ...

OSCILLATION OF SOMATIC CELL COUNT IN MILK OF RECORDED COWS IN SLOVENIA IN YEARS 1997-2007 [PDF]
Oscilacija u broju somatskih stanica (SCC) kod kontroliranih krava proučavana je u Sloveniji u razdoblju od 1997. do 2007. godine. Tijekom 5.267.264 test dana mjerenja su obavljana pretežno za simentalsku (42,4%), zatim za crno-bijelu (37,7%) i smeđu ...

Rheology of the gel formed in the California Mastitis Test [PDF]
The California Mastitis Test has previously been adapted for use in an inline, cow-side sensor and relies on the fact that the viscosity of the gel formed during the test is proportional to the somatic cell concentration.

Factors Affecting the Patterns of Total Amount and Proportions of Leukocytes in Bovine Milk
Differential leukocyte count (DSCC) in milk is considered important to improve knowledge of udder immune response. The investigations on milk DSCC were limited by the techniques available until recently, when a high-throughput tool to perform DSCC opened
