Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection01:26

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection

13.7K
The hosts' susceptibility to infection depends on several factors. The integrity of the skin and mucous membranes helps protect the body against microbial attacks. When the skin is altered, the chance of infection, limb loss, and even death increases.
The integrity and count of the white blood cells help the body resist pathogens and fight infection. When impaired, it reduces the body's resistance to pathogens. The acidic pH levels of the gastrointestinal, genitourinary tracts, and skin...

Prevalence and Incidence01:08

Prevalence and Incidence

1.9K
In statistical epidemiology and health sciences, two essential metrics—prevalence and incidence—are fundamental for understanding disease dynamics within a population. These measures enable public health officials, epidemiologists, and researchers to assess the burden of diseases, allocate resources effectively, and design impactful public health policies and interventions.
Prevalence indicates the proportion of individuals in a population who have a specific disease or health...

Relative Risk01:12

Relative Risk

2.2K
Relative risk (RR) is a statistical measure commonly used in epidemiology to compare the likelihood of a particular event occurring between two groups. This metric is important for evaluating the relationship between exposure to a specific risk factor and the probability of a particular outcome. It plays a crucial role in medical research, public health studies, and risk assessment. Relative risk quantifies how much more (or less) likely an event is to occur in an exposed group compared to an...

Transcription Factors02:16

Transcription Factors

82.8K
Tissue-specific transcription factors contribute to diverse cellular functions in mammals. For example, the gene for beta globin, a major component of hemoglobin, is present in all cells of the body. However, it is only expressed in red blood cells because the transcription factors that can bind to the promoter sequences of the beta globin gene are only expressed in these cells. Tissue-specific transcription factors also ensure that mutations in these factors may impair only the function of...

Factors Affecting Solubility04:01

Factors Affecting Solubility

37.2K
Compared with pure water, the solubility of an ionic compound is less in aqueous solutions containing a common ion (one also produced by dissolution of the ionic compound). This is an example of a phenomenon known as the common ion effect, which is a consequence of the law of mass action that may be explained using Le Chȃtelier’s principle. Consider the dissolution of silver iodide:

Transcription Elongation Factors02:35

Transcription Elongation Factors

14.0K
Transcription elongation is a dynamic process that alters depending upon the sequence heterogeneity of the DNA being transcribed. Hence, it is not surprising that the elongation complex's composition also varies along the way while transcribing a gene.
The transcription elongation is regulated via pausing of RNA polymerase on several occasions during transcription. In bacteria, these halts are necessary because the transcription of DNA into mRNA is coupled to the translation of that mRNA...

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Animal Science
  • Rabbit Production

Background:

  • Clinical mastitis (CM) is a significant health issue in commercial rabbit farming.
  • Understanding prevalence and risk factors is crucial for improving herd health and welfare.
  • Previous research has not comprehensively assessed CM prevalence across diverse Iberian rabbit farms.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the prevalence of clinical mastitis (CM) in Spanish and Portuguese doe rabbit farms.
  • To identify farm-specific risk factors associated with CM.
  • To provide recommendations for improving rabbit health and welfare through management changes.

Main Methods:

  • Cross-sectional study involving 531 doe rabbit farms from January 2001 to March 2017.
  • Data collected through 2367 farm visits, examining 144,455 lactating does across 2635 cohorts.
  • Statistical analysis to identify significant risk factors influencing CM prevalence.

Main Results:

  • Overall mean prevalence of clinical mastitis (PCM) was 4.05% (CI95% [3.87⁻4.22]).
  • Significant risk factors included the number of batches per maternity barn, the duo system, day of service, and lactation stage.
  • Breed or line significantly affected PCM, with means ranging from 1.29% to 7.09%.

Conclusions:

  • Management practices, including batch management and housing systems, significantly impact clinical mastitis prevalence.
  • Breed/line selection and optimizing service/lactation stages are important for controlling CM.
  • Implementing changes in host, husbandry, environment, and biosecurity can improve breeding rabbit health and welfare.
