MHC haplotype involvement in avian resistance to an ectoparasite.

Immunogenetics - 1 Oct 2008

Owen Jeb P, Delany Mary E, Mullens Bradley A

Abstract excerpt

Research on immune function in evolutionary ecology has frequently focused on avian ectoparasites (e.g., mites and lice). However, host immunogenetics involved with bird resistance to ectoparasites has not been determined. The critical role of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) in adaptive immunity and high genetic variation found within the MHC make this gene complex useful for exploring the...
