Cross-sectional studies involve selection of animals at a point in time (or over a defined period) and then the prevalence of the disease in question is measured and data gathered on other factors to allow comparison between presence or absence of disease and presence or absence of various possible risk factors. Cross-sectional studies can be done quickly and cost-effectively but are less effective for testing hypotheses about causation of disease.
