Theileria species are common in tropical and subtropical regions and cause great economical losses inruminants. Two species, T. lestoquardi and T. ovis, are suspected to cause ovine theileriosis in Iran. Theepidemiological aspects of ovine theileriosis in Iran are poorly understood and further investigations bysensitive and precise techniques are required. In a previous study, a sensitive and s...

Body weight (BW) and carcass traits are complex and important economic traits that may benefit from the implementation of MAS. The objective of the current study was to identify QTL associated with BW and carcass traits in an experimental half-sib cross of Japanese quails selected for BW at 4 weeks of age. Body weight and carcass traits were measured in the F2 population. Total F2 individuals a...

Body weight is one of the most important economically useful traits, which characterized by complex inheritance. Therefore, a search for genetic mechanisms affecting its formation increased scientific interest. This work presents first time results genome-wide association studies in resource population sheep (Ovis aries) from backcross (Romanov × Katah-din) Romanov family, whose body was recor...

The success of genomic selection mainly depends on the extent of linkage disequilibrium (LD) between markers and quantitative trait loci (QTL), number of QTL and heritability (h2) of the traits. The extent of LD depends on the genetic structure of the population and marker density. This study was conducted to determine the effects of marker density, level of heritability, number of QTL, and to ...

Florida Native sheep is among the breeds best adapted to humid and hot climatic conditions such as those of Florida, USA, have shown a superior ability regulate nematode burdens. This one oldest in North America an endangered species. To ensure genetic diversity long-term survival breed, protection current stock critical conservation efforts are required promote its breeding production. The obj...
