A locus conferring tolerance to Theileria infection in African cattle

2021-07-27

Abstract excerpt

East Coast fever, a tick-borne cattle disease caused by the Theileria parva parasite, is among the biggest natural killers of cattle in East Africa, leading to over 1 million deaths annually. Here we report on the genetic analysis of a cohort of Boran cattle demonstrating heritable tolerance to infection by T. parva ( h 2 = 0.65, s.e. 0.57). Through a linkage analysis we identify a 6 Mb genomic region on Bos...
