Metazoan parasite species richness and genetic variation among freshwater fish species: cause or consequence?

International journal for parasitology - 1 May 2000

Poulin R, Marshall L J, Spencer H G

Abstract excerpt

The factors responsible for the maintenance of genetic variation among natural populations remain a mystery. Recent models of host-parasite co-evolution assume that parasites exert frequency-dependent selection on their hosts by favouring rare alleles that may confer resistance against infection. We tested this prediction in a comparative analysis that sought relationships between levels of genetic variation and...
