A lethal disease of the European bison – posthitis is conditionally determined by its genomics by Sazia Kunvar, Sylwia Czarnomska, Cino Pertoldi, Astrid V. Stronen, Iwona Ruczyńska, Małgorzata Tokarska

“…However, none of the SNPs found in the study was significantly associated with posthitis occurrence after Bonferroni correction. The conditional nature of posthitis and ‘false negative’ sampling represent major difficulties in investigating this disease, and we recommend a complex genomic and environmental factors association assay that could eventually explain the puzzling etiology of posthitis and help mitigate this threat to the European bison.…”
