Host resistance and parasite virulence in greenfinch coccidiosis.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Jan 2006

Hõrak P, Saks L, Karu U, Ots I

Abstract excerpt

The question why different host individuals within a population differ with respect to infection resistance is of fundamental importance for understanding the mechanisms of parasite-mediated selection. We addressed this question by infecting wild-caught captive male greenfinches with intestinal coccidian parasites originating either from single or multiple hosts. Birds with naturally low pre-experimental...
