There was considerable interest and discussion related to the progress made in both the Australian and New Zealand breeding schemes that assist commercial ram breeders to incorporate selection for resistance to gastrointestinal nematode parasites into their breeding programmes along with selectio...
A study was carried out from 1992 to 1996 to compare the resistance to naturally acquired gastro intestinal (GI) nematode parasite infections (predominantly Haemonchus contortus) of Galla and Small East African goats in the sub humid coastal region of Kenya. A total of 204 Galla and 349 Small Eas...

Divergent breeding lines of Romney sheep, selected as lambs for consistently high or low faecal worm egg count (FEC) following natural multi-species challenge by nematode parasites, were established in New Zealand at Wallaceville Animal Research Centre in 1979 and at Rotomahana Station in 1985. I...

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...

A total of 1443 records of preweaning traits of calves in a dairy herd in coastal lowland Kenya were used to estimate crossbreeding parameters in a regression analysis. In this herd, the Ayrshire (A), Brown Swiss (B) and Sahiwal (S) breeds have been used in a 3-breed rotation crossbreeding system...

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...
