Gastrointestinal (GI) parasitic infection is the main health constraint for small ruminant production, causing loss of weight and/or death. Red Maasai sheep have adapted to a tropical environment where extreme parasite exposure is a constant, especially with highly pathogenic Haemonchus contortus...


Benavides, M.V.Sonstegard, T.S.Kemp, Stephen J.Mugambi, J.M.M.Gibson, John P.Baker, R.L.Hanotte, Olivier H.Marshall, KarenTassell, C. van[Identification of novel loci associated with gastrointestinal parasite resistance in a red Maasai x Dorper backcross population]Identification of novel loci associated with gastrointestinal parasite resistance in a red Maasai x Dorper backcross population

Livestock plays an important role in the livelihoods of millions of poor smallholders within developing countries. Although it has been recognized that smallholders could benefit from genetic improvement strategies (breeding programmes), the challenges associated with establishing genetic improve...

A genome-wide scan was performed to detect quantitative trait loci (QTL) for resistance to the gastrointestinal nematode Haemonchus contortus in a double backcross population of Red Maasai and Dorper sheep. The mapping population comprised six sire families, with 1026 lambs in total. The lambs we...
