The genetic architecture of susceptibility to parasites.

BMC evolutionary biology - 30 Jun 2008

Wilfert Lena, Schmid-Hempel Paul

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The antagonistic co-evolution of hosts and their parasites is considered to be a potential driving force in maintaining host genetic variation including sexual reproduction and recombination. The examination of this hypothesis calls for information about the genetic basis of host-parasite interactions - such as how many genes are involved, how big an effect these genes have and whether there is...
