Specific and non-specific defense against parasitic attack.

Journal of theoretical biology - 21 Feb 2000

Frank S A

Abstract excerpt

Specific defense protects against some parasite genotypes but not others, whereas non-specific defense is effective against all genotypes of a parasite. Some empirical studies observe hosts with variability only in non-specific defense, other studies find only specific defense. I analyse a model with combined specific and non-specific defense to determine the conditions that favor detectable variation in each...
