Association between host's genetic diversity and parasite burden in damselflies.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Aug 2013

Kaunisto K M, Viitaniemi H M, Leder E H, Suhonen J

Abstract excerpt

Recent research indicates that low genetic variation in individuals can increase susceptibility to parasite infection, yet evidence from natural invertebrate populations remains scarce. Here, we studied the relationship between genetic heterozygosity, measured as AFLP-based inbreeding coefficient fAFLP , and gregarine parasite burden from eleven damselfly, Calopteryx splendens, populations. We found that in the...
