Merino sheep breed's genetic resistance to scrapie: genetic structure and comparison of five eradication strategies.

Preventive veterinary medicine - 17 Aug 2006

Molina A, Juárez M, Rodero A

Abstract excerpt

Three thousand one hundred and ninety-three Merino-breeding males were genotyped for Scrapie-resistance gene. They showed a high frequency of ARQ allele while VRQ allele frequency, linked to the highest susceptibility, was close to 0. Alleles linked to Scrapie-susceptibility frequencies have been studied in different Merino flocks. Most of the variability is intraflock, not interflock. In addition, there is an...
