Association of <i>ΤLR9</i> genotypes with seroprevalence for <i>Small Ruminant Lentivirus</i> (<i>SRLV</i>), <i>C. abortus</i> (<i>CA</i>) or <i>M. avium</i> subsp. <i>paratuberculosis</i> (<i>MAP</i>) in three sheep flocks from different breeds.

<p>+: seropositive animals,</p><p>−: seronegative animals.</p

Expected (<i>H_e</i>) and observed (<i>H_o</i>) heterozygosity for <i>TLR9</i> gene, in relation to seropositivity for <i>Small Ruminant Lentivirus</i> (<i>SRLV</i>), <i>C. abortus</i> (<i>CA</i>) or <i>M. avium</i> subsp. <i>paratuberculosis</i> (<i>MAP</i>) in three sheep flocks from different breeds.
