Individual genetic diversity and probability of infection by avian malaria parasites in blue tits (Cyanistes caeruleus).

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Nov 2014

Ferrer E S, García-Navas V, Sanz J J, Ortego J

Abstract excerpt

Understanding the importance of host genetic diversity for coping with parasites and infectious diseases is a long-standing goal in evolutionary biology. Here, we study the association between probability of infection by avian malaria (Plasmodium relictum) and individual genetic diversity in three blue tit (Cyanistes caeruleus) populations that strongly differ in prevalence of this parasite. For this purpose, we...
