Major histocompatibility complex alleles associated with parasite susceptibility in wild giant pandas.

Heredity - 1 Jan 2015

Zhang L, Wu Q, Hu Y, Wu H, Wei F

Abstract excerpt

Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) polymorphism is thought to be driven by antagonistic coevolution between pathogens and hosts, mediated through either overdominance or frequency-dependent selection. However, investigations under natural conditions are still rare for endangered mammals which often exhibit depleted variation, and the mechanism of selection underlying the maintenance of characteristics remains...
