Abstract excerpt
Variation in susceptibility to infection has a substantial genetic component in natural populations, and it has been argued that selection by pathogens may result in it having a simpler genetic architecture than many other quantitative traits. This is important as models of host-pathogen co-evolution typically assume resistance is controlled by a small number of genes. Using the Drosophila melanogaster...
