Parasite-mediated selection of major histocompatibility complex variability in wild brandt's voles (Lasiopodomys brandtii) from Inner Mongolia, China.

BMC evolutionary biology - 12 Jul 2013

Zhang Min, He Hongxuan

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) exhibit high levels of variability, which is believed to have arisen through pathogen-mediated selection. We investigated the relationship between parasite load and genetic diversity at selectively neutral, non-coding markers (microsatellites) and adaptive genetic variation at a functionally important part of the MHC in six independent natural...
