Background: It has been questioned if the old native Norwegian sheep breed, Old Norse Sheep (also called  Norwegian Feral Sheep), normally distributed on coastal areas where ticks are abundant, is more protected against  tick-borne infections than other Norwegian breeds due to a continuously high selection pressure on pasture. The  aim of the present study was to test this hypothesis in an experimental infection study.  Methods: Five-months-old lambs of two Norwegian sheep breeds, Norwegian White (NW) sheep and Old Norse  (ON) sheep, were experimentally infected with a 16S rRNA genetic variant of Anaplasma phagocytophilum (similar  to GenBank accession number M73220).
