Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Jul 2010
Wilfert L, Jiggins F M
Abstract excerpt
Host-parasite coevolution is considered to be an important factor in maintaining genetic variation in resistance to pathogens. Drosophila melanogaster is naturally infected by the sigma virus, a vertically transmitted and host-specific pathogen. In fly populations, there is a large amount of gene...
