Genome-wide association study identifies genetic variants underlying footrot in Portuguese Merino sheep

Abstract Background Ovine footrot caused by Dichelobacter nodosus (D. nodosus) is a contagious disease with serious economic and welfare impacts in sheep production systems worldwide. A better understanding of the host genetic architecture regarding footrot resistance/susceptibility is crucial to de...
