Host sex and parasite genetic diversity.

Microbes and infection - 1 Aug 2006

Caillaud Damien, Prugnolle Franck, Durand Patrick, Théron André, de Meeûs Thierry

Abstract excerpt

Is the genetic diversity of parasites infecting male and female hosts equal or different? This is the question we address in this paper by studying the neutral genetic variability of the plathyhelminth trematode Schistosoma mansoni within males and females of its natural murine host Rattus rattus in the marshy forest focus of Guadeloupe (French West Indies). Using seven microsatellite markers, we demonstrate that...
