      Periasamy, Kathiravan; Pichler, Rudolf; Poli, Mario Andres; Cristel, Silvina Lujan; Cetra, Bibiana Maria; Medus, Pablo Daniel; Basar, Muladno; Thiruvenkadan, A.K.; Ramasamy, Saravanan; Ellahi, Masroor Babbar; Mohammed, Faruque; Teneva, Atanaska; Shamsuddin, Mohammed; Garcia Podesta, Mario; Diallo, Adama (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 ...

      Poli, Mario Andres; Donzelli, María Valeria; Caffaro, María Eugenia; Raschia, Maria Agustina; Papaleo Mazzucco, Juliana; Rossi, Ursula Amaranta (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 

      Demars, Julie; Cano, Ema Margarita; Drouilhet, Laurence; Plisson-Petit, Florence; Bardou, Philippe; Fabre, Stéphane; Servin, Bertrand; Sarry, Julien; Woloszyn, Florent; Mulsant, Philippe; Foulquier, Didier; Carriere, Fabien; Aletru, Mathias; Rodde, Nathalie; Cauet, Stéphane; Bouchez, Olivier; Pirson, Maarten; Tosser-Klopp, Gwenola; Allain, Daniel (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 ...
    • Single nucleotide polymorphisms from candidate genes associated with nematode resistance and resilience in Corriedale and Pampinta sheep in Argentina 

      Raschia, Maria Agustina; Donzelli, María Valeria; Medus, Pablo Daniel; Cetra, Bibiana Maria; Maizon, Daniel Omar; Suarez, Victor Humberto; Pichler, Rudolf; Periasamy, Kathiravan; Poli, Mario Andres (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 ...
