Abstract
Cows play a leading role in global agriculture since they constitute both essential livestock in industrialized and developing countries. Nevertheless, the natural vulnerability to a variety of infectious factors leads their society to significant economic and health challenges. In this article, we outline most important cattle diseases and categorize them under three broad classifications: viral, bacterial and parasitic, evaluate their clinical manifestation and route of infection and outline a series of control measures: vaccination, surveillance, control of vectors and biosecurity which have shown to work well. This understanding of these pathogens and how they are dealt with has been delicately important to the protection of the herd, the provision of food security and the prevention of the greater community-health impacts of uncurbed disease transmission.
