Evaluating Selection Strategies Based on Inbreeding Load via Simulation

Inbreeding load is the fraction of the mutation load that is due to recessive action of mutations. This load is only expressed in individual's inbred offspring. As such, inbreeding load contributes to genetic heterogeneity among individuals and can thus be used as a criterion of...

Investigating Mycoplasma wenyonii and Candidatus Mycoplasma haematobovis coinfection patterns in cattle from southwestern France reveals strain-specific traits

Abstract Hemotropic mycoplasmas (hemoplasmas) infecting cattle were first detected in France in 2019 during a clinical outbreak, but their prevalence both at the species and strain levels remains unknown. This study therefore aimed to determine the prevalence of hemoplasmas and t...
