Major histocompatibility complex DRB1 gene: its role in nematode resistance in Suffolk and Texel sheep breeds.

Parasitology - 1 Sept 2005

Sayers G, Good B, Hanrahan J P, Ryan M, Angles J M, Sweeney T

Abstract excerpt

A potential control strategy for nematode infection in sheep is the implementation of a breeding programme to select for genes associated with resistance. The Texel breed is more resistant to gastrointestinal nematode infection than the Suffolk breed, based on faecal egg count, and this difference should enable the identification of some of the genes responsible for resistance. The objective of this study was to...
