Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
After parturition, the bovine uterine lumen becomes contaminated, and persistence of pathogenic microorganism often leads to uterine infection, such as metritis and endometritis. The consequence of the disease could be subfertility and even infertility, and eventually huge financial losses. Risk factors involve the species and load of bacteria, metabolic disorders, unhygienic conditions, endocrine disturbances, and concomitant reproductive abnormalities. However, most of these factors are not particularly amenable to intervening to reduce the disease. Research advances in bovine uterine infection could shed light on new strategies for the prevention and treatment of the disease. This Special Issue on “Current Research in Bovine Uterine Infection” invites reviews and original articles to update knowledge and present the most recent scientific data regarding bovine uterine infection. It is hoped that this issue will stimulate collaboration between scientists engaged in all aspects of this field of research.
