Spatial pattern of genetic diversity and selection in the MHC class II DRB of three Neotropical bat species.

BMC evolutionary biology - 26 Oct 2016

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Although bats are natural reservoirs of many pathogens, few studies have been conducted on the genetic variation and detection of selection in major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes. These genes are critical for resistance and susceptibility to diseases, and host-pathogen interactions are major determinants of their extensive polymorphism. Here we examined spatial patterns of diversity of the...
