Association of TLR2 Haplotypes Encoding Q650 With Reduced Susceptibility to Ovine Johne’s Disease in Turkish Sheep
2021-01-19
Abstract excerpt
Ovine Johne’s disease (OJD) is caused by Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) and carries a potential zoonotic risk for humans. Selective breeding strategies for reduced OJD susceptibility would be welcome tools in disease eradication efforts, if available. The Toll-like receptor 2 gene ( TLR2) plays an important signaling role in immune response to MAP, and missense variants are associated with mycob...
