Disease relevance of Cattle Diseases

Since antibody to this antigen(s) neutralizes T. parva sporozoites from different stocks, the results could be of relevance to the development of a broad spectrum vaccine against the cattle disease East Coast fever, which is caused by T. parva [1].
Clinically identified ocular features of the bovine disease, which are similar to human Marfan's syndrome, are ectopia lentis, microspherophakia, and myopia [2].

High impact information on Cattle Diseases

Therefore, we concluded that deletion of the paracellin-1 gene is responsible for renal tubular dysplasia of cattle, and the cattle disease could be a good model for the human disease [3].
The purpose of this study was to compare the ocular pathology of the human and bovine diseases and to evaluate fibrillin-1 immunoreactivity in the extracellular matrix of explanted ciliary body cells from affected cattle [2].
Brains affected by the progressive neurological disease bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) contain scrapie-associated fibrils and the protease-resistant isoform of prion protein [4].
A modified DNA test, based on the polymerase chain reaction, was developed for the monogenic recessive disease bovine leucocyte adhesion deficiency (BLAD) [5].
