Tsetse fly-transmitted trypanosomes (Trypanosoma spp.) cause 'sleeping sickness' in man and have a serious impact on livestock-based agriculture in large areas of Africa. Multigene control of variation in susceptibility to trypanosomiasis is known to occur in mice, where the C57BI/6 (B6) strain i...

High-resolution mapping of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) is an essential step towards positional cloning and identification of the corresponding genes. Most QTL detection and mapping studies in mice have been carried out using F2 intercross and backcross populations. As a consequence of the limi...

A marker-assisted introgression (MAI) experiment was conducted to use genetic markers to transfer each of the three trypanotolerance QTL from a donor mouse strain, C57BL/6, into a recipient mouse strain, A/J. We used a backcross strategy that consisted of selecting two lines, each carrying two of...

Breeds of cattle, sheep and goats have been identified which are genetically resistant and/or tolerant to gastro-intestinal nematode parasites. Mapping and cloning of resistant genes will facilitate Development of new breeds of livestock, which combine this important disease resistance trait with...

Genome-wide quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping was used to evaluate the genetic basis of resistance to Helgmosomides polygyrus in an F2 cross of SWR and CBA mouse strains that are resistant and susceptible, respectively, to infection. 25 significant QTL affecting at least one of the resistanc...

C57BL/6J mice are relatively resistant to trypanosomosis compared to BALB/c or A/J mice. Bloodstream trypanosomes are partly dependent on the host for lipid supply and the plasma lipid levels differ between resistant and susceptible mice. Furthermore, genes controlling plasma lipid levels are dif...
