Contingent, non-neutral evolution in a multicellular parasite: natural selection and gene conversion in the Echinococcus granulosus antigen B gene family.

Gene - 26 May 2004

Haag K L, Alves-Junior L, Zaha A, Ayala F J

Abstract excerpt

Recent studies have demonstrated that the Echinococcus granulosus antigen B (AgB) interferes with the intermediate hosts' immune response and is encoded by a multigene family. The number of members within the family is still uncertain, but there are several evidences of a large genetic variability. The E. granulosus AgB genomic sequences available in nucleotide databases can be grouped into four clades,...
