Abstract:

In recent years, the frequent outbreaks of domestic cattle diseases, the increase of potential risk of infection and the decline of natural disease resistance have received much attention from multidisciplinary fields. It has been observed that there are significant differences in disease resistance among different domestic cattle breeds. A large number of research has been conducted on dissecting the molecular genetic basis of disease resistance differences among domestic cattle breeds. To better understand the advances of this field and provide the literature basis of cattle breeding for disease resistance, in this review, we have summarized the current status of domestic cattle diseases, evidence of disease resistance differences among domestic cattle breeds and the molecular genetic basis leading to such differences.
