The unique resistance and resilience of the Nigerian West African Dwarf goat to gastrointestinal nematode infections

3 Feb 2011

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: West African Dwarf (WAD) goats serve an important role in the rural village economy of West Africa, especially among small-holder livestock owners. They have been shown to be trypanotolerant and to resist infections with Haemonchus contortus more effectively than any other known breed of goat. METHODS: In this paper we review what is known about the origins of this goat breed, explain its economic...
