The target antigens recognized by bovine alloreactive cytotoxic T cells are discussed and compared with serologically defined bovine major histocompatibility complex (MHC) products which make up the bovine lymphocyte antigen (BoLA) system. The role of MHC products in T-cell function in other spe...
Microsatellite loci are tandem repeats of short DNA sequences (1-5bp). Polymorphism in these loci results from variation in the number of repeat units. Microsatellites are numerous and dispersed among the chromosomes in all eukaryotic genomes. They are now the markers of choice for genome mapping...

Cross-species amplification and polymorphism of microsatellite loci in Asian bovidae
Seven cattle populations indigenous to East Africa and three reference breeds (Sahiwal, N'Dama and Friesian) were characterized with 18 autosomal microsatellite loci. Within-breed diversity was high in all breeds with observed heterozygosities ranging from 0.511 (+ or -) 0.214 (N'Dama) to 0.660 (...

Detection of QTL for resistance to gastrointestinal nematode infection in mice. Abstract
A study was conducted to assess the correlation between criteria of trypanotolerance and production. N'dama post weaner cattle with different weights and from different age groups were studied for weight gain, packed cell volume (PCV) and for the presence of trypanosomes. The analysis approach wa...

Immunogenetic factors of resistance to theileriosis
Several West African Bos taurus cattle breeds show a remarkable ability to survive and be productive in the face of a trypanosome challenge which would quickly kill susceptible cattle. This phenomenon, termed trypanotolerance, offers a sustainable approach to improving cattle productivity in the...
