On genetic specificity in symbiont-mediated host-parasite coevolution.

PLoS computational biology - 1 Jan 2012

Kwiatkowski Marek, Engelstädter Jan, Vorburger Christoph

Abstract excerpt

Existing theory of host-parasite interactions has identified the genetic specificity of interaction as a key variable affecting the outcome of coevolution. The Matching Alleles (MA) and Gene For Gene (GFG) models have been extensively studied as the canonical examples of specific and non-specific interaction. The generality of these models has recently been challenged by uncovering real-world host-parasite...
