The impact of Climatic Characteristics on the Infection of Animals (Cows) With Diseases in the Provinces of Basra and Maysan

Abstract

The research dealt with diseases affecting cows from 2023-2012, as livestock is considered one of the most important economies of the country, coming in third place after oil and agriculture, the research dealt with one of the most important diseases affecting livestock and cows, especially according to the administrative units of Basra and Maysan governorates, the study shows that There is strong evidence that climate change has been and will continue to affect the incidence, distribution and spread of bovine diseases, to explain this research how climate change can affect livestock diseases in the research area, as the factors affected by climate change that can affect bovine diseases include the molecular biology of the pathogen itself, i.e. vectors (if any The interaction of these factors is an important consideration in predicting how cows will be affected by the disease, as risk assessments should focus on looking for combinations of factors that may be directly affected by climate change , or that They may be indirectly affected by changes in human activity, such as land use, any transportation and movement of animals, the intensity of livestock breeding and changing habitat locations
