Innate Immune Responses Associated with Resistance against Haemonchus contortus in Morada Nova Sheep by João Henrique Barbosa Toscano, Cintia Hiromi Okino, Isabella Barbosa dos Santos, Luciana Aparecida Giraldelo, Marei Borsch von Haehling, Sérgio Novita Esteves, Ana Carolina de Souza Chagas

“…The present study is aimed at evaluating mediators from the innate immune response in lambs of the Morada Nova Brazilian breed with contrasting H. contortus resistance phenotypes. Briefly, 287 lambs were characterized through fecal egg counts (FEC) and packed cell volume (PCV) after two independent experimental parasitic challenges with 4,000 H. contortus L3. 20 extreme resistance phenotypes (10 most resistant and 10 most susceptible) were selected, subjected to a third artificial infection with 4,000 L3, and euthanized 7 days later. …”
