abstract

Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli expressing F4 fimbriae is the major cause of diarrhoea in neonatal and post-weaning piglets. Previous studies have revealed that the loci controlling the F4ab/F4ac receptors are located on SSC13q41, between markers SW207 and S0283. In this study, we Refined their positions in a two generation population containing 366 piglets of three breeds (Large White, Landrace, and Songliao Black). Nine microsatellite markers within this region were selected from the MARC (U.S. Meat Animal Research Center) porcine linkage map, and the pedigree disequilibrium test was employed for fine-mapping. The F4abR gene was located in the interval between S0283 and SW1833, a 4.8-cM region, and the F4acR gene was located in the interval between S0283 and SW1876, a 1.6-cM region. Our results also suggest that the F4ab/F4ac receptors might be controlled by two different but closely linked loci. The results of microsatellite-based haplotype analysis in the corresponding region show that some specific haplotypes were overwhelmingly present in the adhesive or non-adhesive animals, indicating that there are mutations within the identified regions that are strongly associated with the F4ab/ac phenotypes.
