  abstract: Genetics and Breeding for Disease Resistance of Livestock is a solid resource that combines important information on the underlying genetic causes and governing factors for disease resistance in food animals and applications for breeding purposes. It describes genomics at each species level to help researchers and students understand disease resistance and immunology using genomics and its application in breeding for disease resistance. This useful reference makes it easy for readers to understand and undergo further research in immunology and disease resistance for livestock. It includes novel applications and research material that is ideal for students, teachers, academicians and researchers. --
  table of contents: Overview and concept of disease resistance -- Major diseases of livestock and poultry and problems encountered in controlling them -- Disease-resistant traits : analytic tools and indicator traits -- Basic concepts of immunogenetics. -- Genetics for innate immunity -- Genetics for adaptive immunity -- Immune-response genes pertaining to livestock species -- Techniques to study immune-response genes -- Genes conferring immunity against bacterial infections -- Genes conferring immunity against viral infections -- Genes conferring immunity against prion infections -- Genes conferring immunity against fungal infections -- Genes conferring immunity against parasitic infections -- Advanced genomic techniques for studying immune-response genes -- Strategies for exploiting immune-response genes to impart disease resistance to livestock -- Breeding for disease resistance based on phenotypic and genotypic traits -- Heritability, repeatability, and genetic correlation of disease-resistance traits -- Selection of livestock and poultry for disease resistance -- Disease resistance for different livestock species -- Breeding strategies for the development of a disease-resistant stock of livestock -- Advanced breeding techniques -- Disease-resistant livestock populations : their development and impact on farm economics
