Effects of intermediate host genetic background on parasite transmission dynamics: a case study using Schistosoma mansoni.

Experimental parasitology - 1 Sept 2008

Zavodna Monika, Sandland Gregory J, Minchella Dennis J

Abstract excerpt

For parasites that require multiple hosts to complete their development, genetic interplay with one host may impact parasite transmission and establishment in subsequent hosts. In this study, we used microsatellite loci to address whether the genetic background of snail intermediate hosts influences life-history traits and transmission patterns of dioecious trematode parasites in their definitive hosts. We...
