Genetic variations through their effects on gene expression and protein function underlie
disease susceptibility in farm animal species. The variations are in the form of single …

Natural resistance against brucellosis was reviewed from historical and biological
perspectives with regard to animals, humans and Brucella spp. Unfortunately, brucellosis …

Acute cellular rejection (ACR) is a significant risk factor for chronic lung allograft dysfunction
(CLAD). Although clinically manifest and higher grade (≥ A2) ACR is generally treated with …

Genetic susceptibility to brucellosis is multifactorial, and it is known that impairment of the
immune system could contribute to risk for getting brucellosis. The aim of the study was to …

To identify the resistance phenotype against Mycobacterium bovis in cattle, we used a
bactericidal assay that has been considered a marker of this trait. Three of 24 cows (12.5%) …

We tested 413 water buffalo cows (142 cases and 271 controls) for the presence of anti-
Brucella abortus antibodies (by the skin test, the agglutination test, and the complement …

The NRAMP1 gene encodes a divalent cation transporter, located in the phagolysosomal
membrane of macrophages, that has been associated with resistance to intracellular …

The genome in crossbred animals is a mosaic of genomic regions inherited from the
different parental breeds. We previously showed that effects of haplotypes strongly …

Summary The 3′ untranslated region (3′ UTR) of the bovine natural resistance‐
associated macrophage gene (NRAMP1 or SLC11A1) was genotyped in Colombian Creole …

Simple Summary Milk somatic cell count, referring to the total number of somatic cells per
milliliter of bovine milk, changes regularly during the lactation cycle. The somatic cell count …
