ROJAS MARTINEZ, Carmen et al. Background and perspectives of certain priority diseases affecting cattle farming in Mexico. Rev. mex. de cienc. pecuarias [online]. 2021, vol.12, suppl.3, pp.111-148.  Epub 24-Ene-2022. ISSN 2448-6698.  https://doi.org/10.22319/rmcp.v12s3.5848.

The review focused on concisely presenting the contributions that INIFAP researchers have developed, directly or in collaboration with researchers from other institutions, on different aspects of the diseases that affect cattle farming in Mexico. It describes the research on viral diseases such as rabies and bovine viral diarrhea; bacterial diseases such as anaplasmosis, brucellosis, tuberculosis, paratuberculosis, leptospirosis and bovine respiratory disease, and among parasitic diseases, tick infestation and babesiosis. It identifies potential lines of research that can help mitigate the impact of diseases on production. It considers contributions on the development or adaptation of serological and molecular diagnostic techniques and the diagnosis of resistance to ixodicides. In addition, it indicates epidemiological parameters of the diseases and makes reference to the biologics generated, which include vaccines against rabies, anaplasmosis and babesiosis; bacterin against leptospirosis, and a bacterin-toxoid against pneumonia. It also discusses the evaluations of the use of BCG against tuberculosis and a new generation vaccine against brucellosis. The review concludes that the research of INIFAP in animal health must necessarily have the omic sciences as a perspective. This is the only way to complement the understanding of disease mechanisms, the development of new diagnostic techniques and the design of effective and safe vaccines. Therefore, the great challenge will be the involvement of the animal health area in the concept of "One Health".
