There is evidence of genetically determined host resistance mechanisms for most of the sheep parasites evaluated. The mechanisms vary: from no or reduced establishment, early expulsion, to suppression of parasites resulting in reduced size and fecundity. There is a need to integrate breeding for parasite resistance with the genetic improvement of production traits in farm animals, aiming for optimum solutions for potentially conflicting responses. Sustainable parasite control must be based on Integrated Parasite Management utilising an interdisciplinary approach. Crown Copyright (C) 2012 Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
