Abstract

Clinical mastitis is an infection of the udders of dairy cows

Mastitis is the leading cause of economic losses to the dairy industry

E. coli is the most common cause of clinical mastitis (Gonçalves)

Genetic factors may affect the ability for E. coli to establish an infection

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) can detect genetic variants correlating with disease. However, most GWASes aren’t validated experimentally
