Figure 1. 

Cattle diseases and their causative agents or contributing factors. V, viruses; B, bacteria; P, parasites; N, nutrition or metabolic factors; T, toxins; M, multifactorial causes; and O, other factors.

Figure 2. 

Cattle diseases and primary target tissues. Cattle diseases often exhibit strong tissue specificity, with distinct disorders predominantly affecting particular organs or biological systems.

Figure 3. 

Cattle diseases and age dependence. Cattle diseases show distinct age-related patterns. Diseases affecting all age groups are shown in green, while those occurring at different physiological stages or in different animal types are underlined.

Figure 4. 

Cattle diseases and seasonality dependence. Cattle diseases exhibit seasonal variation that may be consistent or differ across geographic regions. Disease seasonality is compared between the U.S. and Egypt.

Figure 5. 

Cattle diseases and prevalence rate. Disease prevalence rates were compared between the U.S. and Egypt.

Figure 6. 

Cattle diseases and QTL mapping. QTL mapping activity is enriched for diseases with high prevalence rates. For three diseases, QTL loci show pronounced enrichment on chromosome 6.
