Dissecting the genetic control of resistance to PRRS

Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.

PRRS is an important viral disease affecting many aspects of pig health and performance. The student will join a team at Roslin Institute and Sygen international investigating genetic variation of host resistance to this disease. The project will involve analysis of data that describes epidemic effects and data from a genome scan for resistance genes, and it will include assessment of thepractical consequences of resistance genes.
