Lambs with scrapie susceptible genotypes have higher postnatal survival.

PloS one - 28 Nov 2007

Sawalha Rami M, Brotherstone Susan, Conington Joanne, Villanueva Beatriz

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Prion protein (PrP) alleles associated with scrapie susceptibility persist in many sheep populations even with high frequencies despite centuries of selection against them. This suggests that scrapie susceptibility alleles have a pleiotropic effect or are associated with fitness or other traits that have been subject to selection. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: We genotyped all lambs in two...
