Prospects for development of genetic markers for resistance to gastrointestinal parasite infection in sheep.
Selection of sheep for resistance to internal parasites represents a viable option for future parasite control. Many phenotypic measures are available for determining the level of infection in individual sheep, although no phenotypic markers are available which allow prediction of an individual's resistance status. Genetic markers are therefore the best way to incorporate parasite resistance into selection programmes. With the recent development of genetic maps, several experiments are underway to search for markers linked to parasite-resistance genes in sheep. It can be predicted confidently that markers associated with resistance will be discovered within 12 months. Markers useful as selection criteria will be available within 5 years, although considerable quantitative genetic analysis needs to be done to find the best way to utilise marker information in selection programmes. In future, methods for differential DNA analysis or mRNA expression will lead to isolation of the genes involved.
