Genetic analysis of infectious diseases: estimating gene effects for susceptibility and infectivity.

Genetics, selection, evolution : GSE - 4 Nov 2015

Anche Mahlet T, Bijma P, De Jong Mart C M

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Genetic selection of livestock against infectious diseases can complement existing interventions to control infectious diseases. Most genetic approaches that aim at reducing disease prevalence assume that individual disease status (infected/not-infected) is solely a function of its susceptibility to a particular pathogen. However, individual infectivity also affects the risk and prevalence of an...
