Gastrointestinal nematodes (GINs) are damaging parasites of global sheep populations. The
key weapons in fighting GINs have been anthelmintic drugs, but the emergence of drug …

Very diversified studies estimated genetic parameters in sheep, and reliable estimates that
account for the variation between articles can be achieved through a meta-analysis. This …

Characterized as the most important gastrointestinal parasite (GIP) in the world,
Haemonchus contortus is also the most predominant and pathogenic genus in Uruguay …

Data collected from 2011 until 2017 on a South African Dohne Merino flock were used for
the estimation of genetic parameters for parasite resistance indicator traits. Nine to twelve …

Due to progressing anthelmintic resistance of gastrointestinal nematodes (GIN), supportive
measures are needed to control these parasites. In sheep, it has been shown that selection …

Fecal egg count (FEC) is an indicative measurement for parasite infection in sheep. Different
FEC methods may show inconsistent results. Not accounting for inconsistencies can be …

The main aim of the current study was to exemplify the usefulness of pedigree-free animal
models in scenarios in which available information is limited. Up to 271 Djallonké sheep …

The aim of this study was to use genome-wide SNP data to investigate phenotypic and
genetic differences in resistance to Haemonchus contortus between resistant and …

SUMMARY Previous South African studies on faecal worm egg count (FWEC) in South
African Merinos have been limited to analyses within flocks. This study details an across …
