Characterizing physiological and genetic differences in the early immune response to Haemonchus contortus in resistant and susceptible sheep
This dissertation compares immune responses of resistant and susceptible sheep to infection with Haemonchus contortus during the peri-parturient period and larval stage of infection. Identification of immunological events resulting in parasite resistance in St. Croix hair sheep may provide better t...
