Allelic effect of the 4-SNP haplotype estimated with the association analysis performed in the BC population. The thirteen alleles of the 4SNP haplotype associated with Faecal Egg Count at first infection that were segregating in the back-cross population are plotted against their estimated effect (given in phenotypic standard deviation). Alleles inherited from the resistant Martinik breed are plotted in black and corresponding sequences are annotated with “MBB”, while alleles from the Romane breed are shown in red and annotated with ‘RMN”. R, N and S alleles stand for alleles being favourable, neutral and unfavourable toward H. contortus infection respectively.
