Genetic and phenotypic relationships between carbohydrate larval antigen (CarLA) IgA, parasite resistance and productivity in serial samples taken from lambs after weaning
International Journal for Parasitology(2013)
Abstract
•IgA response in saliva to carbohydrate larval antigen (CarLA) increased markedly in lambs grazing pasture.•The response was heritable and negatively correlated with faecal egg counts.•CarLA IgA may be an important genetic determinant of growth rate for lambs.
