Abstract excerpt

Several recent studies of animals in their natural surroundings found evidence for effects of certain major histocompatibility complex (MHC) immune gene alleles on the parasite load. However, in multi-infected individuals the particular selection pressure exerted by specific parasites has rarely been explored. In this study we took advantage of the parasitological and genetic data of two previously investigated...
