Genetic estimates and genome-wide association studies of antibody response in Tanzanian dairy cattle

Identifying the genetic determinants of host defence against infectious pathogens is central to enhancing disease resilience and therapeutic efficacy in livestock. Here, we investigated immune response heritability to important infectious diseases affecting smallholder dairy cattle using variance co...
