SLC11A1 and brucellosis: The alleles of the goat genes SLC11A1 (formerly NRAMP1), PTPRT, IRF3, and TNF were recently reported by us associated with the absence of Brucella sero-response in Creole crossbreed goats (141–144), and variants in the MHC-DRB1 loci were associated with brucellosis susceptibility in Chinese Merino sheep (145).
