Association between variation in faecal egg count for a mixed field-challenge of nematode parasites and IGHA gene polymorphism.

Veterinary immunology and immunopathology - 15 Apr 2009

Abstract excerpt

Research has shown that variation in ovine immunoglobulin A (IgA) levels are associated with reduced faecal egg counts (FECs) in sheep hosting gastro-intestinal (GI) parasites. Variation in the constant region of the ovine IgA heavy alpha chain gene (IGHA) may result in structurally and functionally different IgA molecules and may consequently lead to variation in the IgA response to parasitisation.
