In Bangladesh cattle species are affected by several types of diseases and most of them are bacterial, viral and parasitic causing severe economic losses in every year. This study was conducted to investigate the epidemiological status of cattle diseases with relation to age and seasonal variation at Dinajpur district of Bangladesh. A total of 681 clinical cases were registered for the clinical diagnosis and therapeutic purposes at Veterinary Teaching Hospital- Hajee Mohammad Danesh Science and Technology University (VTH-HSTU) at Dinajpur district of Bangladesh during the year of 2014. Disease diagnosis was made on the basis of owner's statement, general examination, clinical signs, gross pathology, and laboratory procedures. Diagnosed diseases were categorized as general clinical disorders, parasitic diseases, viral diseases, bacterial diseases, reproductive disorders, surgical affections and other clinical disorders. According to our result the prevalence of general clinical disorder was the highest (32.16%) followed by parasitic diseases (32.01%), bacterial diseases (15.27%), surgical affections (10.28%), reproductive disorders (4.85%), viral diseases (3.52%) and other clinical disorders (1.91%). Disease prevalence was recorded as highest in case of calf (43.17%) followed by adult (41.70%) and heifer (15.12%). On the basis of season it was found that prevalence of diseases was highest in summer season (47.87%) followed by rainy season (30.10%) and comparatively lower in winter season (22.03%). Our yearlong set of data on prevalence of cattle diseases at VTH-HSTU in Dinajpur district of Bangladesh will give a valuable insight to establish research based study of specific disease and implementation of appropriate course of action to improve the health status of cattle population
