Evolution and Otitis Media: A Review, and a Model to Explain High Prevalence in Indigenous Populations

1 Jan 2015

Abstract excerpt

Otitis media (OM; inflammation of the middle ear) comprises a group of disorders that are among the most common disorders of childhood. OM is also heritable and has effects on fecundity. This means that OM is subject to evolution, yet the evolutionary forces that may determine susceptibility to OM have not been adequately explored. Here I analyze evolutionary forces that may determine susceptibility to middle ear...
