mRNA Treatment to Induce Expression of Molecules to Prevent or Treat Tritrichomonas Foetus Infection in Bulls
Background Bulls and cows are susceptible to reproductive system infection by the protozoal parasite Tritrichomonas foetus (T. foetus). Infected cows are unable to deliver healthy calves, and they can become infected by bulls that, despite showing no signs of the disease, are capable of transmitting the infection to cows. The failure of cows to deliver...
