Disentangling genetic variance for pathogen avoidance and resistance

2025-03-13

Abstract excerpt

Hosts can use avoidance (e.g., behavior) to reduce their contact rates with pathogens; after contact, they can use resistance (e.g., immunity) to reduce the establishment and proliferation of an infection. Because both defenses preserve host fitness and reduce pathogen fitness, we expect that their epidemiological and evolutionary effects will be inter-dependent. This study used a two-locus model to understand the...
