Major histocompatibility complex variation and the evolution of resistance to amphibian chytridiomycosis.

Immunogenetics - 1 Aug 2017

Fu Minjie, Waldman Bruce

Abstract excerpt

Chytridiomycosis, caused by the fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), has been implicated in population declines and species extinctions of amphibians around the world. Susceptibility to the disease varies both within and among species, most likely attributable to heritable immunogenetic variation. Analyses of transcriptional expression in hosts following their infection by Bd reveal complex...
