Small-scale spatial variation in infection risk shapes the evolution of a Borrelia resistance gene in wild rodents.

Molecular ecology - 1 Sept 2018

Cornetti Luca, Hilfiker Daniela, Lemoine Mélissa, Tschirren Barbara

Abstract excerpt

Spatial variation in pathogen-mediated selection is predicted to influence the evolutionary trajectory of host populations and lead to spatial variation in their immunogenetic composition. However, to date few studies have been able to directly link small-scale spatial variation in infection risk to host immune gene evolution in natural, nonhuman populations. Here, we use a natural rodent-Borrelia system to test...
