Evidence for genomic imprinting of the major QTL controlling susceptibility to trypanosomiasis in mice by Clapcott, S.J., Teale, A.J., Kemp, Stephen J.

“…Inbred strains of laboratory mice exhibit marked differences in survival time following infection with Trypanosoma congolense, the principal cause of trypanosomiasis in African livestock.The difference in survival time between the relatively resistant C57BL/6 J and more susceptible BALB/c inbred strains has been attributed to three quantitative trait loci (QTLs), Tir1, Tir2 and Tir3. …”
