  • Title: Note on transferrin, hemoglobin types, and packed cell volume in Senegalese trypanotolerant Djallonke sheep.
    Author: Missohou A, Nguyen TC, Dorchies P, Gueye A, Sow RS.
    Journal: Ann N Y Acad Sci; 1998 Jun 29; 849():209-12. PubMed ID: 9668466.
    Abstract:
    In this study we examined transferrin (Tf) and hemoglobin (Hb) types and frequencies and their relationship with Packed Cell Volume (PCV), which is considered as a selection criterion for the trypanotolerance trait. Blood samples were collected from 96 sheep and were typed for Tf and Hb. The frequencies of the alleles TfA, TfB, TfC and TfD were respectively 0.276, 0.005, 0.109, and 0.609. At the locus Hb, all animals were monomorphic B. The lowest PCV value was observed in animals homozygous for TfC, while the highest value was found in heterozygous (CD) animals; however, the difference was not significant.
