MicroRNA profiling of the intestinal tissue of Kazakh sheep after experimental<i>Echinococcus granulosus</i>infection, using a high-throughput approach
1 Jan 2016
Abstract excerpt
Cystic echinococcosis (CE), caused by infection with the larval stage of the cestode Echinococcus granulosus, is a chronic zoonosis, to which sheep are highly susceptible. Previously, we found that Kazakh sheep with different MHC haplotypes differed in CE infection. Sheep with haplotype MHCMvaIbc-SacIIab-Hin1Iab were resistant to CE infection, while their counterparts without this haplotype were not. MicroRNAs...
