The population genetics of drug resistance evolution in natural populations of viral, bacterial and eukaryotic pathogens.

Molecular ecology - 1 Jan 2016

Abstract excerpt

Drug resistance is a costly consequence of pathogen evolution and a major concern in public health. In this review, we show how population genetics can be used to study the evolution of drug resistance and also how drug resistance evolution is informative as an evolutionary model system. We highlight five examples from diverse organisms with particular focus on: (i) identifying drug resistance loci in the malaria...
