Mastitis is an inflammatory disease of the bovine mammary gland caused by bacterial, viral, fungal, or parasitic infections, with pathogens primarily entering through the teat canal. Once established, they proliferate and evade host immunity, triggering complex immunological cascades mediated by bacterial toxins, proteins, and immunomodulators, which can result in increased somatic cell counts, vascular permeability, fibrosis, and systemic toxemia in severe cases.
