Exploring the genetics of trotting racing ability in horses using a unique Nordic horse model.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Leishmania (L) are intracellular protozoan parasites that are able to survive and replicate within the harsh and potentially hostile phagolysosomal environment of mammalian mononuclear phagocytes. A complex interplay then takes place between the macrophage (MPhi) striving to eliminate the pathogen and the pa...
