Assessing the Impact of Different Stressors on the Immune Response and Disease Susceptibility in Animals. MSC

Abstract:
This research aims to assess the impact of various stressors on the immune response and disease susceptibility in animals. Stressors can include environmental factors, such as temperature fluctuations and pollution, as well as physiological factors like nutritional deficiencies and social stress. Understanding how these stressors affect the immune system and disease susceptibility is crucial for developing effective strategies to mitigate their negative effects on animal health. This study will employ a combination of experimental approaches, including immunological assays, behavioral observations, and disease challenge experiments, to investigate the relationship between stressors and immune response in animals. The findings from this research will contribute to our understanding of the complex interactions between stress, immunity, and disease susceptibility, ultimately leading to improved animal welfare and management practices.
