Resistance and susceptibility to a protozoan parasite of cattle--gene expression differences in macrophages from different breeds of cattle.

Abstract excerpt

Cattle infected with the tick-borne protozoan, Theileria annulata, usually undergo severe morbidity, and mortality ensues in a high proportion of animals. However, we have shown that a Bos indicus breed, the Sahiwal, which originates in a T. annulata endemic area, is more resistant to the parasite. Although Sahiwals become infected, the breed exhibits fewer clinical signs and recovers from a dose of parasite...
