From: First survey on association of TMEM154 and CCR5 variants with serological maedi-visna status of sheep in German flocks

Figure 1

Box plots depicting MV ELISA S/P values in sheep carrying genotypes with (blue) and without (yellow) the putative TMEM154 risk allele (E), in all sheep and in breed subsets. P values are resulting from nonparametric analyses comparing median MV ELISA S/P values of groups. ***P < 0.001, ns not significant (P > 0.05). The black dotted line indicates the median ELISA S/P value of sheep from six serologically MV negative flocks (about 9%). Sheep with ELISA S/P values below 110% (green dashed horizontal line) were considered serologically MV negative. Sheep with ELISA S/P values over 120% (red solid line) were considered serologically MV positive. TEX-x: purebred and crossbred German Texel sheep, GBM purebred German Blackheaded Mutton sheep, MLS-x: purebred and crossbred Merinoland sheep, EFM–LAC: East Friesian milk and Lacaune sheep and crosses of both breeds.
