Modelling infection as a two-step process combining gene-for-gene and matching-allele genetics.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Feb 2003

Agrawal Aneil F, Lively Curtis M

Abstract excerpt

The genetic basis of infection determines the dynamics of host-parasite coevolution and associated phenomena such as local adaptation and the evolution of sex and recombination. Here, we present parasite resistance as a two-step process in which hosts must first detect parasites and then eradicate them; failure at either step results in infection. The model incorporates 'matching-allele' (MA) genetics for...
