It is one of the most costly diseases in dairy industry, is an inflammation of the mammary gland caused by pathogenic infection. From last few decades its pathogenesis, curing metabolites and other alternatives are being studied using different animal models. Husbandry, management and costs included, have always been an obstacle while using large dairy animals as experimental model for the study of mastitis. A laboratory animal model for studying mastitis that is not only inexpensive but can be easily maintainer standard facilities would be of considerable importance. The present article focuses on the use of the mouse as an exploratory model of Staphylococcus aureus-induced mastitis for the study of bovine mastitis.
