Immunogenetics and polymorphism in a natural population of field voles (Microtus agrestis)

2010-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Most of our understanding of immunity has been gained through studies of humans or laboratory rodents. However, such studies do not allow the immune system to be studied in the ecological context in which it has evolved and, as such, they provide a poor model for studying the variation in infectious disease resistance and immune function observed in natural settings. Studies of natural populations have provided fr...
