The effects of penalization of FAMACHA© scores of lambs treated for internal parasites on the estimation of genetic parameters and prediction of breeding values

Riley, D.G.; Van Wyk, Jan Aucamp (Elsevier, 2011-04)

Internal parasite infestation in sheep can be practically assessed using a subjective score for the color of the inner eyelid (FAMACHA© score). Additive genetic variation for this trait would permit selection against ...
Variation and covariation in strongyle infection in East African shorthorn zebu calves

Callaby, R.; Hanotte, Olivier; Conradie van Wyk, Ilana; Kiara, Henry; Toye, Philip G.; Mbole-Kariuki, Mary Ndila; Jennings, Amy; Thumbi, Samuel Mwangi; Coetzer, Jacobus A.W.; Bronsvoort, Barend Mark de Clare; Knott, S.A.; Woolhouse, Mark E.J.; Kruuk, Loeske E.B. (Cambridge University Press, 2015-03)

Parasite burden varies widely between individuals within a population, and can covary with multiple aspects of individual phenotype. Here we investigate the sources of variation in faecal strongyle eggs counts, and its ...
