OMIA 001273-9940 : Resistance to Fasciola gigantica in Ovis aries

Mendelian trait/disorder: unknown

Considered a defect: yes

Species-specific description: Roberts et al. (1997b) reported the results of assessing resistance to a type of liver fluke, Fasciola gigantica, in the segregating generations of a cross between the highly resistant Indonesian Thin Tail (ITT) and the susceptible St Croix breeds of sheep. The data were suggestive of a gene of large effect on resistance.

Breed: Indonesian Thin Tail.
