Diversity and specificity in the interaction between Caenorhabditis elegans and the pathogen Serratia marcescens.

BMC evolutionary biology - 22 Nov 2004

Schulenburg Hinrich, Ewbank Jonathan J

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Co-evolutionary arms races between parasites and hosts are considered to be of immense importance in the evolution of living organisms, potentially leading to highly dynamic life-history changes. The outcome of such arms races is in many cases thought to be determined by frequency dependent selection, which relies on genetic variation in host susceptibility and parasite virulence, and also...
