Genetic profile of adaptive immune traits and relationships with parasite resistance and productivity in Scottish Blackface sheep

Genetic profile of adaptive immune traits and relationships with parasite resistance and productivity in Scottish Blackface sheep

Gastrointestinal (GI) parasites cause significant production losses in grazing ruminants which can be mitigated by breeding animals resistant to disease. Lymphocyte cytokine production and parasite-specific Immunoglobulin A (IgA) are adaptive immune traits associated with immunity to GI parasites. T...
