Natural variation in the genetic architecture of a host-parasite interaction in the bumblebee Bombus terrestris.

Molecular ecology - 1 Mar 2007

Wilfert L, Gadau J, Baer B, Schmid-Hempel P

Abstract excerpt

The genetic architecture of fitness-relevant traits in natural populations is a topic that has remained almost untouched by quantitative genetics. Given the importance of parasitism for the host's fitness, we used QTL mapping to study the genetic architecture of traits relevant for host-parasite interactions in the trypanosome parasite, Crithidia bombi and its host, Bombus terrestris. The three traits analysed...
