Breed differences in humoral and cellular responses of lambs to experimental infection with the gastrointestinal nematode teladorsagia circumcincta
(Springer Nature, 2015-01-01)While Texel lambs have increased resistance to infection with the gastrointestinal nematode Teladorsagia circumcincta compared to Suffolk lambs, the underlying resistance mechanisms are still unknown. The aim of this study ... -
Genetic basis of benzimidazole resistance in teladorsagia circumcincta in ireland
(Springer Nature, 2017-02-13)Resistance to benzimidazole (BZ) anthelmintics is common in ovine nematodes of economic importance. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) at three positions in the isotype 1 beta tubulin gene have been associated with BZ ... -
Immunogenomics of gastrointestinal nematode infection in ruminants - breeding for resistance to produce food sustainably and safely
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2016-09-01)Gastrointestinal nematode (GIN) infection of ruminants represents a major health and welfare challenge for livestock producers worldwide. The emergence of anthelmintic resistance in important GIN species and the associated ... -
The dynamic influence of the drb1*1101 allele on the resistance of sheep to experimental teladorsagia circumcincta infection
(Springer Nature, 2011-01-01)Suffolk sheep carrying the DRB1*1101 (previously referred to as DRB1*0203 or G2) allele have been reported to show increased resistance to natural Teladorsagia circumcincta infection compared to non-carriers. The objective ...
