MHC standing genetic variation and pathogen resistance in wild Atlantic salmon.

Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences - 12 Jun 2009

Abstract excerpt

Pathogens are increasingly emerging in human-altered environments as a serious threat to biodiversity. In this context of rapid environmental changes, improving our knowledge on the interaction between ecology and evolution is critical. The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of an immunocompetence gene, the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class IIbeta, on the pathogen infection levels in...
