Genome-wide SNP profiling of worldwide goat populations reveals strong partitioning of diversity and highlights post-domestication migration routes
Stéphane Joost, Estelle Rochat, Elia Vajana
Background: Goat populations that are characterized within the AdaptMap project cover a large part of the worldwide distribution of this species and provide the opportunity to assess their diversity at a global scale. We analysed genome-wide 50K single nuc ...
BMC2018Combining landscape genomics and ecological modelling to investigate local adaptation of indigenous Ugandan cattle to East Coast fever
Stéphane Joost, Estelle Rochat, Elia Vajana
East Coast fever (ECF) is a fatal sickness affecting cattle populations of eastern, central, and southern Africa. The disease is transmitted by the tick Rhipicephalus appendiculatus, and caused by the protozoan Theileria parva parva, which invades host lym ...
2018Combining Landscape Genomics and Ecological Modelling to Investigate Local Adaptation of Indigenous Ugandan Cattle to East Coast Fever
Stéphane Joost, Estelle Rochat, Elia Vajana
East Coast fever (ECF) is a fatal sickness affecting cattle populations of eastern, central, and southern Africa. The disease is transmitted by the tick Rhipicephalus appendiculatus, and caused by the protozoan Theileria parva parva, which invades host lym ...
2018Modeling the spatial distribution of Theileria parva (Theiler 1904), causative agent of East Coast Fever disease in cattle
Stéphane Joost, Sylvie Stucki, Elia Vajana, Pierre Taberlet
Theileria parva is a protozoan emo-parasite affecting sub-Saharan Bos taurus and Bos indicus populations. It is the causative agent of East Coast Fever, a major cattle disease causing the death of ~1.1∙106 animals per year and an annual loss of ~168∙106 US ...
2015Genomic diversity and disease prevalence in Ugandan cattle
Stéphane Joost, Sylvie Stucki, Elia Vajana, Pierre Taberlet
Ugandan cattle are represented by three main types: the long-horned Ankole, the short-horned zebu, and the Ankole-zebu crosses called “Nganda”. In the course of the EU-funded project Nextgen, Ugandan cattle have been extensively sampled over the whole coun ...
2015Analysis of B. taurus and B. indicus admixture in Uganda as revealed by the Illumina BovineSNP50 Genotyping BeadChip
Stéphane Joost, Sylvie Stucki, Pierre Taberlet
The NextGen project investigates disease resistance in indigenous Ugandan cattle. Since population structure and stratification may produce biased results, We have investigated the genomic structure of sampled animals genotyped with the BovineSNP50 Genotyp ...
2013Spatial and seasonal patterns of cattle habitat use in a mountain wooded pasture
Alexandre Buttler, François Gillet, Jean-Michel Gobat
Management-oriented models of cattle habitat use often treat grazing pressure as a single variable summarizing all cattle activities. This paper addresses the following questions: How does the spatial pattern of cattle effects vary between cattle activitie ...
2006Seasonal vegetation changes in mountain pastures due to simulated effects of cattle grazing
Alexandre Buttler, François Gillet, Jean-Michel Gobat
Cattle influence grassland dynamics in three ways: herbage removal, dung deposition and trampling. The objective of this study was to assess the effects of these factors, separately or in combination, and to compare them with cattle grazing over a one year ...
