Candidate Gene Approach for Parasite Resistance in Sheep – Variation in Immune Pathway Genes and Association with Fecal Egg Count
(Plos One, 2014-02-12)Sheep chromosome 3 (Oar3) has the largest number of QTLs reported to be significantly associated with resistance to gastro-intestinal nematodes. This study aimed to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within ... -
Estudio de variables biológicas ante un desafío artificial de L3 de H. contortus en dos majadas de ovinos Corriedale
(Asociación Argentina de Producción Animal, 2022-11)H. contortus es uno de los parásitos que ocasiona mayores problemas en regiones templadas, tropicales y subtropicales debido a pérdidas productivas y económicas. La utilización de drogas es fundamental para el control de ... -
Genetic resistance to gastrointestinal parasites in sheep
(CAB International, 2023-06)Gastrointestinal nematode (GIN) infection is the most common disease affecting sheep production systems throughout the world, causing significant productive and economic losses. The control of these parasites was traditionally ... -
Genome-wide identification of the mutation uderlying fleece variation and discriminating ancestral hairy species from modern woolly sheep
(Oxford university press, 2017-07)The composition and structure of fleece variation observedin mammals is a consequence of a strong selective pressure for fiber production after domestication. In sheep, fleece variation discriminates ancestral species ... -
Integrating technologies for the sustainable control of gastrointestinal parasites in sheep : The Argentinean case
(FAO, 2023)Gastrointestinal nematode infections in sheep are a major concern among breeders due to the economic losses they cause in terms of a reduction in both productivity and viability of animals. The situation worsens in face ... -
Potential contribution of genomics and biotechnology in animal production
(Biblioteca Básica de Agricultura, 2015)Integration of Latin American countries into international agricultural markets requires animal production systems to be competitive. Demand of animal products is increasing due to population growth, and changes in lifestyle ... -
Resistencia genética a las parasitosis gastrointestinales en ovinos : resultados en dos majadas Corriedale
(Asociación Argentina de Criadores de Corriedale, 2021)En la región noreste de Argentina se crían aproximadamente 2,1 millones de ovinos (14,2% del total de ovinos del país) en 37.288 unidades productivas (31,6% del total de unidades) y en la región central se crían 2,7 millones ... -
Single nucleotide polymorphisms from candidate genes associated with nematode resistance and resilience in Corriedale and Pampinta sheep in Argentina
(Elsevier, 2021-02)Selective breeding of genetically resistant animals is considered a promising strategy to face the problem of nematode resistance to anthelmintics and mitigate concerns about the presence of chemical residues in animal ...
