Abstract
Mastitis is the most common production disease in the dairy sector worldwide, its incidence being associated with both cows' exposure to bacteria and the cows' genetic make-up for resistance to pathogens. The objective of our study was to analyse 89 missense SNPs belonging to six genes (CXCR2, CXCL8, TLR4, BRCA1, LTF, BOLA-DRB3), which were found to be associated with genetic resistance or susceptibility to mastitis. A total of 298 cattle (250 Romanian Spotted and 48 Romanian Brown) were genotyped by Kompetitive Allele Specific PCR (KASP) and a chi-squared test was used for genetic association studies with clinical mastitis. A total of 35 SNPs (39.3%) among the selected 89 SNPs were successfully genotyped, of which 31 markers were monomorphic. The polymorphic markers were found in two genes: TLR4 (rs460053411) and BOLA-DRB3 (rs42309897, rs208816121, rs110124025). The polymorphic SNPs with MAF > 5% and call rates > 95% were used for the association study. The results showed that rs110124025 in the BOLA-DRB3 gene was significantly associated with mastitis prevalence (p ≤ 0.05) in both investigated breeds. Current results show that the SNP rs110124025 in the BOLA-DRB3 gene can be used as a candidate genetic marker in selection for mastitis resistance in Romanian dairy cattle.

Abstract
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) contains many genes that play key roles in initiating and regulating immune responses. This includes the polymorphic MHCI and MHCII genes that present epitopes to CD8+ and CD4+ T-cells, respectively. Consequently, the characterisation of the repertoire of MHC genes is an important component of improving our understanding of the genetic variation that determines the outcomes of immune responses. In cattle, MHC (BoLA) research has predominantly focused on Holstein-Friesian animals (as the most economically important breed globally), although the development of high-throughput approaches has allowed the BoLA-DRB3 repertoire to be studied in a greater variety of breeds. In a previous study we reported on the development of a MiSeq-based method to enable high-throughput and high-resolution analysis of bovine MHCI repertoires. Herein, we report on the expansion of this methodology to incorporate analysis of the BoLA-DRB3 and its application to analyse MHC diversity in a large cohort of cattle from Brazil (>500 animals), including representatives from the three major Bos indicus breeds present in Brazil - Guzerat, Gir and Nelore. This large-scale description of paired MHCI-DRB3 repertoires in Bos indicus cattle has identified a small number of novel DRB3 alleles, a large number of novel MHCI alleles and haplotypes, and provided novel insights into MHCI-MHCII association - further expanding our knowledge of bovine MHC diversity.

Abstract
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) plays a role in immune response. Among other activities, the bovine MHC genes (BoLA) trigger immune responses, including the activation of antibody-producing B-cells. In this study, White Fulani (n = 24), Red Bororo (n = 5) and Holstein-White × Fulani-cross (n = 11) cattle from Nigeria, and New Zealand Holstein-Friesian × Jersey-cross (n = 40) cattle were used to investigate variability in exon 2 of BoLA-DQA1. Ten alleles were identified using a PCR-Single Strand Conformation Polymorphism (SSCP) approach and their nucleotide sequences confirmed by DNA sequencing. A total of 12.60 % of all nucleotide positions analysed were revealed to be variable and two novel BoLA-DQA1 alleles are reported here for the first time.

Abstract
The Major Histocompatability Complex (MHC) determines the immune response to pathogens, and its genes are promising candidates for the search of associations with diseases. A special role is played by BoLA-DRB3 gene, the product of which directly participates in the binding of alien antigens and conditions the specificity of the immune response. The second exon of this gene codes β1-domain of class II antigens, which is necessary for binding a broad spectrum of alien antigens. Exon 2 of BoLA-DRB3 gene is extremely polymorphic, giving the possibility to search the associations of its alleles with various diseases. The article provides the results of the study on polymorphism of alleles of BoLA-DRB3.2 gene for detection of its associations with sensitivity to fusobacteriosis (necrobacteriosis) of cows. The survey was performed using PCR-RFLP method with DNA of blood from 176 cows of two herds of Ukrainian black-and-white dairy breed. As a result of the studies, in the first herd, 25 BoLA-DRB3.2 alleles were found. In the selections of nectobacteriosis susceptible and resistant cows, we found 22 and 21 variants respectively. In the second herd, in the general selection and group of healthy animals, 27 alleles were typed, and 22 in the group of susceptible cows. BoLA-DRB3.2*22 allele was the commonest in both herds in both general selections and groups of nectobacteriosis-resistant cows. In the selection of susceptible animals, the commonest was the variant BoLA-DRB3.2*16. We determined statistically significant associations of BoLA-DRB3.2 alleles with sensitivity to nectobacteriosis of cattle. BoLA-DRB3.2*03 and *22 alleles associate with nectobacteriosis-resistant, while *16 and *23 – with nectobacteriosis-susceptible cows of the both studied groups. Also, in the first herd, another allele was found – *24, indicating close relationship with the disease. The studies of polymorphism of BoLA-DRB3 gene expand the knowledge about genetic peculiarities of the Ukrainian black-and-white dairy breed. The identified molecular-genetic markers could be useful for breeders whose work is oriented towards the formation of herds which are resistant to diseases of the limbs in cattle.

Abstract
Genetic polymorphisms and diversity of BoLA-DRB3.2 are essential because of DRB3 gene's function in innate immunity and its association with infectious diseases resistance or tolerance in cattle. The present study was aimed at assessing the level of genetic diversity of DRB3 in the exon 2 (BoLA-DRB3.2) region in African, American and Asian cattle breeds. Amplification of exon 2 in 174 cattle revealed 15 haplotypes. The breeds with the highest number of haplotypes were Brangus (10), Sokoto Gudali (10) and Dajal (9), while the lowest number of haplotypes were found in Holstein and Sahiwal with 4 haplotypes each. Medium Joining network obtained from haplotypic data showed that all haplotypes condensed around a centric area and each sequence (except in H-3, H-51 and H-106) representing almost a specific haplotype. The BoLA-DRB3.2 sequence analyses revealed a non-significant higher rate of non-synonymous (dN) compared to synonymous substitutions (dS). The ratio of dN/dS substitution across the breeds were observed to be greater than one suggesting that variation at the antigen-binding sites is under positive selection; thus increasing the chances of these breeds to respond to wide array of pathogenic attacks. An analysis of molecular variance revealed that 94.01 and 5.99% of the genetic variation was attributable to differences within and among populations, respectively. Generally, results obtained suggest that within breed genetic variation across breeds is higher than between breeds. This genetic information will be important for investigating the relationship between BoLADRB3.2 and diseases in various cattle breeds studied with attendant implication on designing breeding programs that will aim at selecting individual cattle that carry resistant alleles.
