Genotype specificity among hosts, pathogens, and beneficial microbes influences the strength of symbiont-mediated protection.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 May 2017

Abstract excerpt

The microbial symbionts of eukaryotes influence disease resistance in many host-parasite systems. Symbionts show substantial variation in both genotype and phenotype, but it is unclear how natural selection maintains this variation. It is also unknown whether variable symbiont genotypes show specificity with the genotypes of hosts or parasites in natural populations. Genotype by genotype interactions are a...
