Understanding the complex origin of domesticated populations is of vital importance for understanding, preserving and exploiting breed genetic diversity. Here, we aim to assess Asian contributions to European traditional breeds and western commercial chickens for mitochondrial genetic diversity. ...

Cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) remains a major threat to cassava production in Mozambique. Breeding for CBSD resistant varieties that are also preferred by farmers is an integral part of managing the disease. The main objective of the study was to determine the genetic relationship between f...

An experiment was carried out to compare the susceptibility to haemonchosis of three breeds of goats and to seek indications of genetic resistance. Twelve East African, nine Galla and 13 East African X Toggenburg crosses were artificially infected with 500 Haemonchus contortus larvae per kg liv...

This study has indicated that differences in susceptiblity to Trypanosoma congolense infection exist among the 3 main breeds of goats in Uganda namely, Kigezi, Mubende and small East African (SEA). The Kigezi goats appeared to be the most susceptibe suffering more severe anaemia, greater retardat...

The animal mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) length polymorphism and heteroplasmy are accepted to be universal. Here we report the lack of structural variation but the presence of length polymorphism as well as heteroplasmy in mtDNA control region of an endangered avian species – the Crested Ibis (Nippon...

Prostaglandins (PGs) comprise a family of structurally related bioactive lipid mediators that are involved in various symptoms associated with parasitic diseases. The molecular mechanisms of PG biosynthesis in animals have been studied extensively. Currently, several lines of evidence link their ...

On a global basis, livestock products - meat, milk, eggs and fibre - account for 40 percent of the value of total marketed agricultural product. Animal products provide essential amino acids, vitamins and minerals to help ensure nutritionally balanced diets. In developing countries, livestock tra...

The X chromosome shows a special interaction between demographic factors and genetic variation, and the analysis of X‐linked genomic variation can therefore provide insights into the unique effects of demography and selection on the horse genome that cannot be readily detected by autosomal marker...
