OMIA:002418-9940 : Mycotoxicosis, susceptibility/resistance to in Ovis aries (sheep) |
Categories: Nervous system phene
Links to MONDO diseases: No links.
Mendelian trait/disorder: no
Mode of inheritance: Multifactorial
Considered a defect: yes
Key variant known: no
Species-specific name: Ryegrass staggers
Species-specific description: Ryegrass staggers is caused by the ingestion of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) containing a fungal endophyte (Neotyphodium lolii). The fungal endophyte produces a tremorgenic toxin, lolitrem B.
Genetic engineering:
Unknown
Have human generated variants been created, e.g. through genetic engineering and gene editing
