Here, we investigated immune response heritability to important infectious diseases affecting smallholder dairy cattle using variance component analysis. We also conducted genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to identify genetic variants that may help understand the underlying biology of these health traits. By assessing 668,911 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) genotyped in 2,045 crossbred cattle sampled from six regions of Tanzania, we identified high levels of interregional admixture and European introgression, which may increase infectious disease susceptibility relative to indigenous breeds. Heritability estimates were low to moderate, ranging from 0.03 (SE \u00b1 0.06) to 0.44 (SE \u00b1 0.07), depending on the health trait. GWAS results revealed several loci associated with seropositivity to the viral diseases Rift Valley fever and bovine viral diarrhoea, the protozoan parasites\n                    <jats:italic>Neospora caninum<\/jats:italic>\n                    and\n                    <jats:italic>Toxoplasma gondii<\/jats:italic>\n                    , and the bacterial pathogens\n                    <jats:italic>Brucella sp, Leptospira<\/jats:italic>\n                    hardjo, and\n                    <jats:italic>Coxiella burnetii.<\/jats:italic>\n                    The identified quantitative trait loci mapped to genes involved in immune defence, tumour suppression, neurological processes, and cell exocytosis.
