The major histocompatibility complex: a double-edged sword in fungal disease susceptibility

2024-12-18

Abstract excerpt

Chytridiomycosis, caused by Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), threatens amphibian populations worldwide. MHC II has been implicated in Bd susceptibility, but the role of MHC in Bd susceptibility remains poorly understood. In this study, we clustered MHC II ß1 alleles into functional supertypes and investigated their diversity in amphibian species with differential susceptibility. Despite sharing similar alpha...
