Summary

Mycotic mastitis in cows requires identifying the specific fungal cause for effective treatment. While Candida infections may resolve spontaneously, Cryptococcus and Prototheca require careful management with frequent milking.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Mycology
  • Animal Health

Context:

  • Mycotic mastitis is a significant concern in dairy herds.
  • Understanding the etiological agents is crucial for effective disease management.
  • This review synthesizes current knowledge on fungal mastitis in cattle.

Purpose:

  • To review the literature on the etiology, diagnosis, symptoms, therapy, and prognosis of mycotic mastitis in cows.
  • To highlight the importance of identifying the causative fungal species.
  • To discuss treatment strategies and their efficacy.

Summary:

  • The review covers various aspects of mycotic mastitis, including causes, diagnosis, and clinical signs.
  • Prognosis varies significantly depending on the identified fungal agent; Candida infections show higher spontaneous recovery rates than Cryptococcus or Prototheca.
  • Frequent milking is recommended during treatment, and while antimycotic drugs may be considered, their effectiveness lacks robust evidence.

Impact:

  • Informing veterinary practitioners on the differential diagnosis and treatment of mycotic mastitis.
  • Guiding research towards more effective therapeutic interventions for fungal mastitis.
  • Improving animal welfare and reducing economic losses in the dairy industry due to mastitis.
