Sex-dependent resistance to the pathogenic fungus Cryptococcus neoformans.

Genetics - 1 Jun 2006

van den Berg Maaike C W, Woerlee Jessica Z, Ma Hansong, May Robin C

Abstract excerpt

Sex differences occur in most species and affect a variety of biological traits including morphology, behavior, and life history. The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans exists as a population of self-fertile hermaphrodites with occasional males, which differ anatomically and behaviorally from hermaphrodites. Here we show that male C. elegans also differ from hermaphrodites in their susceptibility to a fungal...
