Disentangling genetic variation for resistance and tolerance to infectious diseases in animals.

Science (New York, N.Y.) - 2 Nov 2007

Råberg Lars, Sim Derek, Read Andrew F

Abstract excerpt

Hosts can in principle employ two different strategies to defend themselves against parasites: resistance and tolerance. Animals typically exhibit considerable genetic variation for resistance (the ability to limit parasite burden). However, little is known about whether animals can evolve tolerance (the ability to limit the damage caused by a given parasite burden). Using rodent malaria in laboratory mice as a...
