Single nucleotide polymorphism and expression studies of the interferon gamma gene and its role against Haemonchus contortus in Garole and Sahabadi sheep

Conclusions We could clearly identify a single cytokine gene which is differentially expressed between the resistant and the susceptible animals that could be a potential target for identifying the genetic marker of Haemonchus resistance. Finding of one single nucleotide polymorphism at exon 3 in three resistance Garole sheep might have novelty.
