The Population History of Domestic Sheep Revealed by Paleogenomes

Molecular Biology and Evolution
Abstract Sheep was one of the first domesticated animals in Neolithic West Eurasia. The zooarchaeological record suggests that domestication first took place in Southwest Asia, although much remains unresolved about the precise location(s) and timing(s) of earliest domestication, or the post-domestication history of sheep.

Giardia duodenalis in sympatric wild reindeer and domestic sheep in Norway

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife
Wild and semi-domesticated reindeer graze freely on natural pastures in Norway, often sharing these with domestic sheep and other domestic and wild ruminants.

Cross-transmission of resistant gastrointestinal nematodes between wildlife and transhumant sheep

Peer Community Journal
Wild and domestic ungulates can be infected with the same species of gastrointestinal parasitic nematodes. These parasites have free-living stages in the environment that contribute to the ease of transmission among different host species.

PARTIAL NUCLEOTIDE SEQUENCE OF THE G GLYCOPROTEIN OF RESPIRATORY SYNCYTIAL VIRUS ISOLATED FROM WILD BIGHORN SHEEP MAY PROVE THAT IT IS NEARLY IDENTICAL TO THAT OF OVINE RESPIRATORY SYNCYTIAL VIRUS OF DOMESTIC SHEEP [PDF]

Veterinary Medical Journal - Giza, 2005
The G glycoprotein is the most variable gene among different strains of human and bovine res­piratory syncytial viruses (RSV). One isolate of ovine RSV isolated from domestic sheep has been molecularly characterized before.

Genetic diversity of domestic sheep [PDF]

, 2017
Domestic sheep are raised for meat, milk and fibre production and are found all around the world in many types of environments. Sheep have been shown to be genetically diverse but this genetic diversity has not been fully described: there are still many sheep populations which have not yet been studied.

Shared Bacterial and Viral Respiratory Agents in Bighorn Sheep (Ovis canadensis), Domestic Sheep (Ovis aries), and Goats (Capra hircus) in Montana

Veterinary Medicine International, 2011
Transmission of infectious agents from livestock reservoirs has been hypothesized to cause respiratory disease outbreaks in bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis), and land management policies intended to limit this transmission have proven controversial.

Revised phylogeny of mouflon based on expanded sampling of mitogenomes.

PLoS ONE
Mouflons are flagship species of the Mediterranean islands where they persist. Once thought to be the remnants of a European wild sheep population, archaeology suggests they were introduced by humans to the islands of Cyprus in the Early Neolithic (~10 ...
