Susceptibility of Italian agile frog populations to an emerging strain of<i>Ranavirus</i>parallels population genetic diversity

2005-03-09

Abstract excerpt

Abstract Western populations of the Italian agile frog ( Rana latastei ) experience widespread genetic depletion. Based on population genetic theory, molecular models of immunity and previous empirical studies, population genetic depletion predicts increased susceptibility of populations to emergent pathogens. We experimentally compared susceptibility of R. latastei populations upon exposure to an emerging strain...
