Article

The eosinophil leucocyte, a phenotypic marker of resistance to nematode parasites, is associated with calm behaviour in sheep.

Immunology and cell biology - 1 Apr 1998

Hohenhaus M A, Josey M J, Dobson C, Outteridge P M

Abstract excerpt

The hypothesis that behaviour in sheep is influenced by resistance to infections with Trichostrongylus colubriformis and Haemonchus contortus was explored. Sheep were assessed phenotypically as resistant and susceptible in four ways and thereafter, the effect of resistance on several behavioural...
