A matching-allele model explains host resistance to parasites.

Current biology : CB - 17 Jun 2013

Luijckx Pepijn, Fienberg Harris, Duneau David, Ebert Dieter

Abstract excerpt

The maintenance of genetic variation and sex despite its costs has long puzzled biologists. A popular idea, the Red Queen Theory, is that under rapid antagonistic coevolution between hosts and their parasites, the formation of new rare host genotypes through sex can be advantageous as it creates host genotypes to which the prevailing parasite is not adapted. For host-parasite coevolution to lead to an ongoing...
