The role of epistasis on the evolution of recombination in host-parasite coevolution.

Theoretical population biology - 1 Feb 2009

Kouyos Roger D, Salathé Marcel, Otto Sarah P, Bonhoeffer Sebastian

Abstract excerpt

Antagonistic coevolution between hosts and parasites is known to affect selection on recombination in hosts. The Red Queen Hypothesis (RQH) posits that genetic shuffling is beneficial for hosts because it quickly creates resistant genotypes. Indeed, a large body of theoretical studies have shown that for many models of the genetic interaction between host and parasite, the coevolutionary dynamics of hosts and...
