Protozoan infections are not associated with genetic diversity of avian hosts: a meta-analysis

2024-11-14

Abstract excerpt

Genetic diversity is vital for species’ adaptation to environmental changes, including disease pressures. Parasites exert strong selective forces, often linking reduced genetic diversity with increased infection susceptibility. However, the impact of genetic diversity at both functional and neutral loci on infection patterns in natural populations remains unclear. This meta-analysis examines the relationship betwe...
