Mastitis is broadly defined as the inflammation of the mammary gland; however, the concept of mastitis is customized to address its social and clinical impact in the case of humans and the health, welfare, and economic consequences for other mammals. There are many microbial, host, and environmental factors that influence the development of mastitis. Some are common to all mammals as well as inherent to each species. Together these factors influence the most prevalent etiological agents for each species and might determine the possibility of interspecies transmission with its consequences to public health. The present review will summarize and compare reports on mastitis etiology and its epidemiology in humans and food animal species.
乳腺炎被广泛定义为乳腺的炎症；然而，乳腺炎的概念是针对人类的社会和临床影响以及其他哺乳动物的健康、福利和经济后果进行定制的。有许多微生物、宿主和环境因素会影响乳腺炎的发展。有些因素对所有哺乳动物以及每个物种都是固有的。这些因素共同影响每种物种最常见的病因，并可能决定与公共卫生相关的种间传播的可能性。本综述将总结和比较人类和食品动物物种乳腺炎病因及其流行病学的报告。
