Diagnosis, Pathology and Management of Bovine Infectious Diseases

Bovine infections refer to the group of infectious diseases affecting the cattle which are caused by pathogens. The most common symptoms of acute infection are the loss of appetite, fever, lethargy, ocular discharge, nasal discharge, oral lesions, diarrhea, and a decreased level of milk production. Some of the common types of bovine infections include bovine viral diarrhea (BVD), anaplasmosis, anthrax, black quarter, bovine anemia, coccidiosis, and enterotoxemia. Bovine viral diarrhea (BVD) is a viral disease of cattle caused by the bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV). Management of bovine infectious diseases depends on the specific type of disease affecting the cattle. There are two categories of vaccines available for the prevention of these diseases, namely, modified live virus (MLV) vaccines and killed virus (KV) vaccines. This book includes some of the vital pieces of works being conducted across the world, on the diagnosis, pathology and management of bovine infectious diseases. Researchers and students actively engaged in the field of veterinary science will be greatly assisted by it.
