Resistance to trypanosomosis: Of markers, genes and mechanisms by Teale, A.J., Agaba, Morris, Clapcott, S.J., Gelhaus, A., Haley, C., Psifidis, A., Horstmann, R., Iraqui, F., Kemp, Stephen J., Nilsson, P., Schwerin, M., Sekikawa, K., Soller, M., Sugimoto, Y., Womack, J.

“…A key strength of the comparative strategy derives from overlaying the genetic maps of murine and bovine QTL - containing regions. If, and where, the same genes are used by the two species, this may facilitate localisation of one or more of the genes contributing to variation in resistance to T. congolense trypanosomosis.…”
