Quantitative trait loci and transcriptome signatures associated with avian heritable resistance to Campylobacter
Abstract Campylobacter is the leading cause of bacterial foodborne gastroenteritis worldwide. Handling or consumption of contaminated poultry meat is a key risk factor for human campylobacteriosis. One potential control strategy is to select poultry with increased resistance to Campylobacter. We ass...
