An international wheat diversity panel reveals novel sources of genetic resistance to tan spot in Australia. [PDF]

open access: yesTheor Appl Genet, 2023
Tan spot is a foliar disease in wheat caused by the fungal pathogen Pyrenophora tritici-repentis (Ptr) and has been reported to generate up to 50% yield losses under favourable disease conditions.

Molecular mechanisms of drug resistance in natural Leishmania populations vary with genetic background [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The evolution of drug-resistance in pathogens is a major global health threat. Elucidating the molecular basis of pathogen drug-resistance has been the focus of many studies but rarely is it known whether a drug-resistance mechanism identified is ...

An assessment of opportunities to dissect host genetic variation in resistance to infectious diseases in livestock [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
This paper reviews the evidence for host genetic variation in resistance to infectious diseases for a wide variety of diseases of economic importance in poultry, cattle, pig, sheep and Atlantic salmon.

Introgression of ivermectin resistance genes into a susceptible Haemonchus contortus strain by multiple backcrossing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Anthelmintic drug resistance in livestock parasites is already widespread and in recent years there has been an increasing level of anthelmintic drug selection pressure applied to parasitic nematode populations in humans leading to concerns regarding the

Immunological basis of differences in disease resistance in the chicken [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Genetic resistance to diseases is a multigenic trait governed mainly by the immune system and its interactions with many physiologic and environmental factors.

Evidence for genetic variance in resistance to tuberculosis in Great Britain and Irish Holstein-Friesian populations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
peer-reviewedBackground: Here, we jointly summarise scientific evidence for genetic variation in resistance to infection with Mycobacterium bovis, the primary agent of bovine tuberculosis (TB), provided by two recent and separate studies of Holstein ...

Genetics of Antimicrobial Resistance

open access: yesAnimal Biotechnology, 2006
Antimicrobial resistant strains of bacteria are an increasing threat to animal and human health. Resistance mechanisms to circumvent the toxic action of antimicrobials have been identified and described for all known antimicrobials currently available for clinical use in human and veterinary medicine. Acquired bacterial antibiotic resistance can result

Human genetics and malaria resistance [PDF]

open access: yesHuman Genetics, 2020
AbstractMalaria has been the pre-eminent cause of early mortality in many parts of the world throughout much of the last five thousand years and, as a result, it is the strongest force for selective pressure on the human genome yet described. Around one third of the variability in the risk of severe and complicated malaria is now explained by additive ...

Anopheles gambiae Genome Conservation as a Resource for Rational Gene Drive Target Site Selection

open access: yesInsects, 2021
The increase in molecular tools for the genetic engineering of insect pests and disease vectors, such as Anopheles mosquitoes that transmit malaria, has led to an unprecedented investigation of the genomic landscape of these organisms.
