Genetic diversity predicts pathogen resistance and cell-mediated immunocompetence in house finches.

Biology letters - 22 Sept 2005

Hawley Dana M, Sydenstricker Keila V, Kollias George V, Dhondt André A

Abstract excerpt

Evidence is accumulating that genetic variation within individual hosts can influence their susceptibility to pathogens. However, there have been few opportunities to experimentally test this relationship, particularly within outbred populations of non-domestic vertebrates. We performed a standardized pathogen challenge in house finches (Carpodacus mexicanus) to test whether multilocus heterozygosity across 12...
