Patterns of Diversity and Spatial Variability of β-Defensin Innate Immune Genes in a Declining Wild Population of Tree Swallows.

The Journal of heredity - 1 Apr 2017

Abstract excerpt

Assessing the genetic variation and distribution of immune genes across heterogeneous environmental conditions in wild species is essential to further our understanding of the role of pathogen pressure and potential resistance or prevalence in hosts. Researchers have recently investigated β-defensin genes in the wild, because their variability suggests that they may play an important role in innate host defense....
