Intramammary infections of dairy cows with Gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus
aureus (major cause of mastitis) have received a lot of attention because of their major …

Understanding the immune defenses of the mammary gland is instrumental in devising and
developing measures to control mastitis, the major illness of dairy ruminants. Innate …

Migration of polymorphonuclear neutrophil leukocytes (PMN) into the mammary gland
provide the first line of defense against invading mastitis pathogens. Bacteria release potent …

The health of dairy animals, particularly the milk‐producing mammary glands, is essential to
the dairy industry because of the crucial hygienic and economic aspects of ensuring …

The primary phagocytic cells of the bovine mammary gland, polymorphonuclear neutrophil
leukocytes (PMN), and macrophages, comprise the first line of defense against invading …

The objective of this study was to review the possible relationships between hyperketonemia
and the function of phagocytes with respect to the bovine udder defense mechanism. We …

Introduction Involution of the mammary gland is a complex process of controlled apoptosis
and tissue remodelling. The aim of the project was to identify genes that are specifically …

Introduction In order to gain a better understanding of the molecular processes that underlie
apoptosis and tissue regression in mammary gland, we undertook a large-scale analysis of …

Because the bovine mammary gland is constantly challenged by a variety of contagious and
environmental pathogens, maintenance of mammary health may be best thought of in terms …

Staphylococcus aureus is a major pathogen in bovine intramammary infections of
subclinical and chronic nature. Persistent infection with S. aureus has been postulated to be …
