Genome-wide associations and functional gene analyses for endoparasite resistance in an endangered population of native German Black Pied cattle

Genome-wide associations and functional gene analyses for endoparasite resistance in an endangered population of native German Black Pied cattle

Abstract Background Gastrointestinal nematodes (GIN), liver flukes (Fasciola hepatica) and bovine lungworms (Dictyocaulus viviparus) are the most important parasitic agents in pastured dairy cattle. Endoparasite infections are associated with reduced milk production and detrimental impacts on female...
