The present investigation was carried out with the objective to identify putative candidate genes / Quantitative trait loci for resistance / susceptibility towards Haemonchus infestation in tropical goat breed (Rohilkhandi goat) of India. The mean faecal egg count (FEC) and packed cell volume (PCV) of the population were 142.78 ± 22.54 epg (eggs per gram) and 31.73% ± 0.49, respectively. Grouping of animals as per dot ELISA test showed 41.33% (n = 124) positive and 58.66% (n = 176) negative for Haemonchus infestation. The microsatellite loci DYA and ODRB1.2 were significantly associated (P ≤ 0.05) to parasite resistance. The locus DYA showed significant association with log FEC and dot ELISA and the locus ODRB1.2 showed significant association with log FEC, PCV and dot ELISA at P ≤ 0.05. Real time expression profiling revealed that the susceptible group (high FEC group) had 11.1-fold more expression of IFNγ mRNA (Th cytokine) and 0.11-fold lower expression of IL-10 mRNA (Th cytokine), which was found to be statistically significant (P ≤ 0.05).
本研究旨在鉴定印度热带山羊品种(罗希兰迪山羊)对感染旋毛虫的抗性/易感性的候选基因/数量性状位点。该群体的平均粪便虫卵计数(FEC)和红细胞压积(PCV)分别为 142.78 ± 22.54 epg(每克卵)和 31.73% ± 0.49。根据 dot ELISA 测试对动物进行分组显示,41.33%(n = 124)对旋毛虫感染呈阳性,58.66%(n = 176)呈阴性。微卫星位点 DYA 和 ODRB1.2 与寄生虫抗性显著相关(P ≤ 0.05)。位点 DYA 与 log FEC 和 dot ELISA 显著相关,而位点 ODRB1.2 与 log FEC、PCV 和 dot ELISA 显著相关(P ≤ 0.05)。实时表达谱分析显示,易感组(高 FEC 组)IFNγ mRNA(Th 细胞因子)的表达增加了 11.1 倍,IL-10 mRNA(Th 细胞因子)的表达降低了 0.11 倍,这具有统计学意义(P ≤ 0.05)。
