Hookworm infection, anaemia and genetic variability of the New Zealand sea lion.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Oct 2009

Acevedo-Whitehouse Karina, Petetti Laura, Duignan Padraig, Castinel Aurelie

Abstract excerpt

Hookworms are intestinal blood-feeding nematodes that parasitize and cause high levels of mortality in a wide range of mammals, including otariid pinnipeds. Recently, an empirical study showed that inbreeding (assessed by individual measures of multi-locus heterozygosity) is associated with hookworm-related mortality of California sea lions. If inbreeding increases susceptibility to hookworms, effects would...
