Foot and mouth disease (FMD) is a highly contagious viral disease of all cloven-hoofed animals (cattle, sheep, pigs, deer, camels, alpacas, goats etc). It is one of the most severe epidemic animal diseases. Although not generally fatal in adult animals, it causes serious losses in production. What are the signs of FMD? . . . → Read More: Foot and Mouth Disease in Cattle Etiology BRSV is frequently isolated in pneumonia of calves and yearlings. Because of its frequent occurrence and tendency to cause infections in the lower respiratory tract, BRSV represents a very important virus in the bovine respiratory disease complex (BRD). Infection is followed by specific clinical signs. Most susceptible to BRSV infection are housed calves . . . → Read More: Bovine Respiratory Syncytial Virus (BRSV) in Cattle East Coast fever (Theileriosis). Enlarged body lymph nodes. East Coast fever, an acute disease of cattle, is characterized usually by high fever, swelling of the lymph nodes, dyspnea, and high mortality. Caused by Theileria parva, it is a serious problem in east and central Africa.

In epidemic form, it is the most lethal plague known in cattle. All species of the order artiodactyla are variably susceptible to rinderpest. Susceptibility is high in African buffalo, giraffes, . . . → Read More: Rinderpest (Cattle Plague) in Cattle Etiology: The causal organism is Mycoplasma mycoides small colony type. Susceptible cattle become infected by inhaling droplets disseminated by coughing in affected cattle. Goats and sheep are not important in the epidemiology.
