A principal component regression based genome wide analysis approach reveals the presence of a novel QTL on BTA7 for MAP resistance in holstein cattle

Effective vaccination or therapeutic strategies against this disease are currently unavailable and infected animals either get culled or die due to clinical disease. An alternative strategy to manage the disease is to selectively breed animals with enhanced resistance to MAP infection. …
