Trematode parasites infect or die in snail hosts.

Biology letters - 23 Apr 2011

King Kayla C, Jokela Jukka, Lively Curtis M

Abstract excerpt

The Red Queen hypothesis is based on the assumption that parasites must genetically match their hosts to infect them successfully. If the parasites fail, they are assumed to be killed by the host's immune system. Here, we tested this using sympatric (mostly susceptible) and allopatric (mostly resistant) populations of a freshwater snail and its trematode parasite. We determined whether parasites which do not...
