Response to somatic cell count-based selection for mastitis resistance in a divergent selection experiment in sheep [PDF]
A divergent selection experiment in sheep was implemented to study the consequences of log-transformed somatic cell score (SCS)-based selection on resistance to natural intramammary infections.

IMMUNOGLOBULIN AND SOME CYTOKINES TITER IN BOVINE MILK OBTAINED FROM CLINICAL AND SUBCLINICAL MASTITIS [PDF]
Mastitis is the most frequent and highly economically damaging disease of dairy cows. According to signs, it is classified into clinical, subclinical, and chronic mastitis. Immune response strategies differ according to the form of mastitis. Somatic cell

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.

In naturally occurring bovine mastitis, effects of infection depend on the host inflammatory response, including the effects of secreted cytokines. Knowledge about the inflammatory and regulatory cytokines in milk cells of free-stall barn dairy cows and ...

Mastitis is an inflammatory condition of the mammary gland which is usually caused by a bacterial infection. This study aims to determine acute phase protein (APP) and its association with somatic cell count (SCC) during experimentally induced ...

Cleanliness scores as indicator of klebsiella exposure in dairy cows [PDF]
This study was designed to explore the relationship between cow and udder cleanliness scores and the risk of isolation of Klebsiella spp. from lower hind legs and teat ends, respectively. The distribution of Klebsiella species was compared among isolates

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.

Delayed Neutrophil Apoptosis in Bovine Subclinical Mastitis [PDF]
Bovine subclinical mastitis can be defined as a moderated inflammatory disease characterized by a persistent accumulation of neutrophils in milk. As GMCSF-mediated delay of neutrophil apoptosis contributes to the accumulation of inflammatory cells at the site of inflammation in many human diseases, we sought to determine whether subclinical mastitis in
