Ovine toxoplasmosis

Parasitology, 2009
SUMMARYCongenital infection withToxoplasma gondiiis an important cause of abortion in sheep worldwide. The cat is the definitive host of the parasite, and infected cats may shed millions of oocysts in their faeces resulting in extensive environmental contamination and an important source of infection for grazing herbivorous animals.

Genome-wide detection of copy number variation in Chinese indigenous sheep using an ovine high-density 600 K SNP array

Scientific Reports, 2017
Copy number variants (CNVs) represent a form of genomic structural variation underlying phenotypic diversity. In this study, we used the Illumina Ovine SNP 600 K BeadChip array for genome-wide detection of CNVs in 48 Chinese Tan sheep.

Binding characteristics of the ovine membrane progesterone receptor alpha and expression of the receptor during the estrous cycle

Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2009
Background Classically, progesterone has been thought to act only through the well-known genomic pathway involving hormone binding to nuclear receptors and subsequent modulation of gene expression.

Pellets enriched with healthy hay and quebracho are not sufficient to control gastrointestinal nematodes in meat sheep commercial flocks

Parasitology
The emergence of AH multiresistant GIN compromises sustainability of grassland sheep farming worldwide. Plants rich in condensed tannins are an alternative method of parasitism management that is currently being explored. Feed supplementation trials with
