New research on Persian #cats: Myers et al find #genetic variants in the breed related to the incidence of #ringworm These mutations change the antimicrobial protein calprotectin, which may defend against other #pathogens https://t.co/pYDL6C30yq

Why is ringworm such a big problem in Persian cats? @Morris_Animal-funded researchers learned a lot about ancient genes and a very modern disease while trying to answer this important question. https://t.co/H9HUtdRsge https://t.co/427KvD9l5m
