Candidate gene microsatellite variation is associated with parasitism in wild bighorn sheep.

Biology letters - 23 Apr 2008

Abstract excerpt

The loss of genetic variation in host populations is thought to increase host susceptibility to parasites. However, few data exist to test this hypothesis in natural populations. Bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis) populations occasionally suffer disease-induced population declines, allowing us to test for the associations between reduced genetic variation and parasitism in this species. Here, we show that individual...
