Parasite load and MHC diversity in undisturbed and agriculturally modified habitats of the ornate dragon lizard.

Molecular ecology - 1 Dec 2014

Radwan Jacek, Kuduk Katarzyna, Levy Esther, LeBas Natasha, Babik Wiesław

Abstract excerpt

Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) gene polymorphism is thought to be driven by host-parasite co-evolution, but the evidence for an association between the selective pressure from parasites and the number of MHC alleles segregating in a population is scarce and inconsistent. Here, we characte...
