Immunogenetic diversity and haemosporidian parasitization in European bluethroats ( <i>Luscinia svecica</i> ): do diverse genes warrant fewer parasites?

2025-09-07

Abstract excerpt

The health and fitness of vertebrates are constantly challenged by environmental stresses, which include exposure to diseases that pose significant evolutionary pressures on immune genes. The bluethroat ( Luscinia svecica ), has been extensively studied for its haemosporidian parasite diversity across Europe showing a high diversity and prevalence rate. Given possible evolutionary pressure exerted by these pathog...
