Maedi visna - genetic aspects of susceptibility/resistance in sheep
ŠTOIDL, Petr
The aim of this research is to evaluate the rate of correlation between Maedi-visna sheep disease and the polymorphism on 35th position of the gen for TMEM154 transmembrane protein. The incidence of Maedi-visna disease was evaluated using serological ELISA method at the State Veterinary Institute Jihlava, and for TMEM154 gene polymorphism detection, molecular PCR method was used. This research proves correlation between Maedi-visna sheep disease and the gene polymorphism for TMEM154 transmembrane protein. The main contribution of this research is the possibility to eradicate Maedi-visna virus by eliminating sheep with less resistant genotype.
