Association between variation in faecal egg count for a mixed field-challenge of nematode parasites and ovine MHC-DQA2 polymorphism.

Veterinary immunology and immunopathology - 15 Dec 2011

Abstract excerpt

The selection of sheep that are resistant to gastrointestinal parasites and have lower faecal egg counts (FECs) has been the subject of extensive research. This has led to the speculation that the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) genes could be used as markers to reduce FEC. In this study, associations between variation in ovine MHC-DQA2 and various measures of FEC recorded at two times (approximately 4 and...
