Bovine infections are a group of infectious diseases caused by pathogens in cattle. There are various types of bovine infections such as bluetongue, botulism, bovine tuberculosis, bovine viral diarrhea (BVD), brucellosis, foot and mouth disease, actinobacillosis, Johne's disease, psoroptic mange, Schmallenberg virus, and transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSE). Wooden tongue or Actinobacillosis is one of the most common types of bovine infection caused by Actinobacillosis Lignieresii bacteria. This disease affects the soft tissues present in the mouth region in adult cattle. The most common symptoms of wooden tongue include the inability to eat or drink, drooling, painful and swollen tongue, and ulcers on tongue. Iodine therapy or tetracyclines are commonly used to treat this disease. This book outlines the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of infectious diseases of the bovine in detail. For all readers who are interested in veterinary science, the studies included herein will serve as an excellent guide to develop a comprehensive understanding.
