Currently the commercialised marker for selection of parasite resistant sheep is low worm egg counts (WEC) which has a number of disadvantages. Resistance to GIN is immune-mediated so improved understanding of immune mediators of resistance may lead to new markers of resistance. Galectin-11 and galectin-14 are relatively new molecules, with unknown function, secreted in large amounts into abomasal mucus during GIN infections. This study aims to determine whether galectin-11 and galectin-14 are associated with GIN resistance. | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | Postgraduate Conference of the Sheep, Beef and Pork CRCs and MLA, Coffs Harbour, Australia, 24th - 26th October, 2011 | Source of Publication: | Postgraduate Conference of the Sheep, Beef and Pork CRCs and MLA Abstracts, p. 30-31 | Publisher: | Australian Sheep Industry Co-operative Research Centre (CRC) | Place of Publication: | Australia | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 070205 Animal Protection (Pests and Pathogens) 070708 Veterinary Parasitology |
