Role of parasite transmission in promoting inbreeding: I. Infection intensities drive individual parasite selfing rates.

Molecular ecology - 1 Sept 2017

Detwiler Jillian T, Caballero Isabel C, Criscione Charles D

Abstract excerpt

Among parasitic organisms, inbreeding has been implicated as a potential driver of host-parasite co-evolution, drug-resistance evolution and parasite diversification. Yet, fundamental topics about how parasite life histories impact inbreeding remain to be addressed. In particular, there are no direct selfing-rate estimates for hermaphroditic parasites in nature. Our objectives were to elucidate the mating system...
