Breeding with resistant rams leads to rapid control of classical scrapie in affected sheep flocks

Autor: Nodelijk Gonnie, van Roermund Herman JW, van Keulen Lucien JM, Engel Bas, Vellema Piet, Hagenaars Thomas J

Publikováno v: Veterinary Research, Vol 42, Iss 1, p 5 (2011)

Abstract Susceptibility to scrapie, a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy in sheep, is modulated by the genetic make-up of the sheep. Scrapie control policies, based on selecting animals of resistant genotype for breeding, have recently been adop

Scrapie prevalence in sheep of susceptible genotype is declining in a population subject to breeding for resistance

Autor: Engel Bas, Davidse Aart, Bossers Alex, Melchior Marielle B, Hagenaars Thomas J, van Zijderveld Fred G

Publikováno v: BMC Veterinary Research, Vol 6, Iss 1, p 25 (2010)

Abstract Background Susceptibility of sheep to scrapie infection is known to be modulated by the PrP genotype of the animal. In the Netherlands an ambitious scrapie control programme was started in 1998, based on genetic selection of animals for bree

Expert opinion as 'validation' of risk assessment applied to calf welfare

Autor: Buist Willem G, Engel Bas, Edwards Sandra A, Bracke Marc BM, Algers Bo

Publikováno v: Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, Vol 50, Iss 1, p 29 (2008)

Abstract Background Recently, a Risk Assessment methodology was applied to animal welfare issues in a report of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) on intensively housed calves. Methods Because this is a new and potentially influential approach

Report

Marker-based estimation of heritability in immortal populations

Autor: Kruijer, Willem, Boer, Martin, Malosetti, Marcos, Flood, Padraic J., Engel, Bas, Kooke, Rik, Keurentjes, Joost, van Eeuwijk, Fred

Publikováno v: Genetics (2015), Vol. 199(2), p. 379-398

Heritability is a central parameter in quantitative genetics, both from an evolutionary and a breeding perspective. For plant traits heritability is traditionally estimated by comparing within and between genotype variability. This approach estimates
