The Seroprevalence of Chlamydia abortus in Montana Domestic Rangeland Sheep Varies by Breed, Flock and Herding Practices [PDF]

Veterinary Medicine and Science
Background Ovine enzootic abortion (OEA) is a reproductive disease in domestic sheep characterized by late‐term abortions occurring 2–3 weeks before term and leading to economic losses for sheep producers.

Exposure of bighorn sheep to domestic goats colonized with Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae induces sub-lethal pneumonia. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Bronchopneumonia is a population limiting disease of bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis) that has been associated with contact with domestic Caprinae. The disease is polymicrobial but is initiated by Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae, which is commonly carried by ...

Kobuvirus in Domestic Sheep, Hungary

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2010
To the Editor: Picornaviruses (family Picornaviridae) are small, nonenveloped viruses with single-stranded, positive-sense genomic RNA. They are divided into 12 genera: Enterovirus, Aphthovirus, Cardiovirus, Hepatovirus, Parechovirus, Erbovirus, Teschovirus, Sapelovirus, Senecavirus, Tremovirus, Avihepatovirus, and Kobuvirus.

Paternal Origins and Migratory Episodes of Domestic Sheep [PDF]

Current Biology, 2020
The domestication and subsequent global dispersal of livestock are crucial events in human history, but the migratory episodes during the history of livestock remain poorly documented [1-3]. Here, we first developed a set of 493 novel ovine SNPs of the male-specific region of Y chromosome (MSY) by genome mapping.

Executive decision-making in the domestic sheep. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Two new large animal models of Huntington's disease (HD) have been developed recently, an old world monkey (macaque) and a sheep. Macaques, with their large brains and complex repertoire of behaviors are the 'gold-standard' laboratory animals for testing

Mouflon and Domestic Sheep Phylogeny: Ancestry, Domestication, and Evolutionary Dynamics. [PDF]

Life (Basel)
The ancestry of domestic species from their closest wild relatives is one of the most debated and intriguing topics in evolutionary genetics. This review synthesizes current scientific understanding of the phylogenetic relationships between wild mouflon populations and domestic sheep (Ovis aries).

Genome-Wide SNP Analysis Reveals the Unique Genetic Diversity Represented by Fat-Tailed Coarse-Wooled Sheep Breeds of Kazakhstan [PDF]

Biology
Background: The fat-tailed coarse-wooled sheep breeds exhibit excellent reproductive performance, exceptional adaptability to pasture conditions, and high precocity, contributing to enhanced meat, fat, and wool productivity in sheep breeding. Despite the

Linkage Disequilibrium in Domestic Sheep [PDF]

Genetics, 2002
Abstract The last decade has seen a dramatic increase in the number of livestock QTL mapping studies. The next challenge awaiting livestock geneticists is to determine the actual genes responsible for variation of economically important traits.

Potential disease agents in domestic goats and relevance to bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis) management. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Domestic goats are raised for meat, milk and hair production, in herds for rangeland weed control, and as pack animals. Domestic sheep, goats and wild bighorn sheep are all susceptible to a multifactorial pneumonia.

Long divergent haplotypes introgressed from wild sheep are associated with distinct morphological and adaptive characteristics in domestic sheep

PLoS Genetics, 2023
The worldwide sheep population comprises more than 1000 breeds. Together, these exhibit a considerable morphological diversity, which has not been extensively investigated at the molecular level.
