Genetic and epidemiological relationships between productivity and disease resistance: gastro-intestinal parasite infection in growing lambs

1999-12-01

Abstract excerpt

This paper demonstrates how interactions between host genotype for resistance to an infectious disease and the epidemiology of that disease can have large influences on animal productivity and hence on breeding goals for domestic livestock. This is illustrated for the case of gastro-intestinal parasitism in lambs. A model of the parasite infection was developed to include between-animal variation (genetic, permane...
