Cattle, pigs, poultry and fish feed us, but the consumers buying their meat as food are far removed from the animals themselves. The USDA puts 2013 meat consumption levels of 25.5 billion pounds of beef alone. Beef exports added $5.7 billion to the economy. Economic pressures lead to large ...
Nonetheless, experimental cross-infections of the parasites between pigs and cattle in addition to analysis of molecular data suggest that these three species should be considered strains of the same species 20, 37. In addition, several different genotypes of T. foetus have been identified as ...

Firstly, animals are sentient beings, which means that they have the capacity to feel pain and emotions just like humans. Therefore, it is important to treat animals with kindness and compassion. Many animals are used for human consumption, such as cows, pigs, and chickens. These animals are...
Members of the genus Brucella are the source of the infectious bacterial disease known as brucellosis which is characterised by abortion, retained fetal membranes, orchitis, infection of the male accessory sex glands, and decreased fertility. Cattle, pigs, goats, sheep, dogs, camel...

This virus is carried in fruit bats of the genus Pteropus, a host to which it seems well adapted. It emerges periodically to affect humans, pigs and occasionally other domesticated animals. Nipah virus infections were first described during widespread outbreaks that occurred in Malaysia in 1998-...
The cardiovascular system and the anatomical structures of large animals such as pigs and monkeys are similar to that of humans. Similar changes in the myocardium are observed during and after the administration of anthracyclines [47]. However, housing and maintenance of large animals are expensive ...
Due to the importance of cattle in the human food chain and to prevent the consequences of parasitosis in humans, the first global systematic review and meta-analysis on molecular epidemiology, species distribution, and zoonotic significance of Sarcocystis infection in cattle was performed. Methods ...
