Genome-wide association studies of parasite resistance, productivity and immunology traits in Scottish Blackface sheep
Gastrointestinal parasitism represents a global problem for grazing ruminants, which can be addressed sustainably by breeding animals to be more resistant against infection by parasites. The aim of this study was to assess the genetic architecture underlying traits associated with gastrointestinal p...
