The genetic basis of resistance to Ostertagia circumcincta in lambs
Stear, M.J.; Bairden, K.; Bishop, S.C.; Buitkamp, J.; Duncan, J.L.; Gettinby, G.; McKellar, Quintin; Park, M.; Parkins, J.J.; Reid, S.W.J. (1997-09)The relationship between Ostertagia (Teladorsagia) circumcincta and sheep is one of the best understood host-parasite relationships in any species. The key components of resistance have been quantified, the extent of genetic ... -
An ovine lymphocyte antigen is associated with reduced faecal egg counts in four-month-old lambs following natural, predominantly Ostertagia circumcincta infection
Stear, M.J.; Bairden, K.; Bishop, S.C.; Buitkamp, J.; Epplen, J.T.; Gostomski, D.; McKellar, Quintin; Schwaiger, F.W.; Wallace, D.S. (1996-04)Ten lymphocyte antigens were defined in a flock of Scottish Blackface sheep known to be naturally exposed to infection with Ostertagia circumcincta. Population and family studies suggested that the 10 antigens were products ... -
An ovine Major histocompatibility complex DRB1 allele is associated with low faecal egg counts following natural, predominantly Ostertagia circumcincta infection
Schwaiger, F.W.; Gostomski, D.; Stear, M.J.; Duncan, J.L.; McKellar, Quintin; Epplen, J.T.; Buitkamp, J. (1995-07)Infection with Ostertagia circumcincta is a major constraint on sheep production in temperate areas of the world. A potential control strategy is the use of genetically resistant sheep. Therefore we examined the association ...
