The low WEC allele (A) reduced WEC at day 100 by approximately 25% (or 100 150 epg) for all mechanisms; hence the WEC of homozygous AA sheep was 40 to 60% of the WEC of homozygous aa sheep.
The average allele effect α was calculated as (2) 1 2 1 − WEC AA WEC aa, where WEC AA is the average WEC of sheep that are homozygous for the low WEC allele, and WEC aa is that of homozygous susceptible sheep.
Multiple resonant frequencies in proposed WEC affect the Power Ttake-off (PTO) performance of the WEC.
The flock average WEC measurements showed the clear effect of a reduction in WEC with increasing frequency of the A allele in the sheep population for each of the resistance mechanisms.
Three gene sets could not be translated to changes seen in the WEC, since there is no scoring parameter for these changes in the WEC.
For example, the 'susceptible' sheep flocks from Table 4 have an initial WEC of ~700 epg, while the aa animals from Table 3 have a WEC of ~475 epg.
For 2012, they entered the new European Le Mans Series (ELMS) and FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC), finishing third in the LMP2 category of the ELMS, and fifth in the WEC.
An important outcome of the model was that limiting female fecundity as the mechanism by which selection of sheep reduces WEC was found to halve the selection pressure on the worm population compared to other mechanisms for WEC reduction.
The first round of the 2015 WEC season is at Silverstone on 12 April.
The Shanghai stop was the final round of the WEC circuit in 2012.
The next round of the WEC is the Six Hours of Fuji on 14 October.
