TIM-3, GAL-9, NRAMP1 and NRAMP2: possible candidate genes responsible for disease resistance, tolerance, and/or susceptibility in water buffaloes

There are claims by several sectors that swamp-type water buffaloes are more resistant to infectious disease compared to riverine water buffaloes. To confirm this, the Philippine Carabao Center (PCC), through its Animal Health Unit, has conducted a preliminary study on the “Molecular Characterization of T-cell immunoglobulin mucin domain-3 (TIM-3), Galectin-9 (GAL-9), and NRAMP1/2 (Slc11a1/a2) genes of these two types of water buffaloes”.
