Parasite infectivity to hybridising host species: a link between hybrid resistance and allopolyploid speciation?

International journal for parasitology - 1 Feb 2003

Jackson J A, Tinsley R C

Abstract excerpt

Variation in host-specific infectivity was studied in monogenean polystome parasites (Protopolystoma spp.) of the interfertile, parapatric anurans Xenopus laevis laevis and Xenopus muelleri. Laboratory-raised host F1 hybrids were resistant to parasites respectively specific to each parent taxon in nature. This resistance occurred against parasite isolates from both inside and outside a host hybrid/sympatric zone...
