MHC variation, multiple simultaneous infections and physiological condition in the subterranean rodent Ctenomys talarum.

Infection, genetics and evolution : journal of molecular epidemiology and evolutionary genetics in infectious diseases - 1 Jul 2011

Abstract excerpt

Parasites and pathogens can play a significant role in shaping the genetic diversity of host populations, particularly at genes associated with host immune response. To explore this relationship in a natural population of vertebrates, we characterized Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) variation in the subterranean rodent Ctenomys talarum (the talas tuco-tuco) as a function of parasite load and ability to...
