MHC‐I provides both quantitative resistance and susceptibility to blood parasites in blue tits in the wild

2016-02-26

Abstract excerpt

Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes are central for the adaptive immune response against parasites. Here, we investigated potential associations among MHC‐I alleles and blood parasite infections in a natural breeding population of a passerine bird, the blue tit Cyanistes caeruleu s, in central Spain. We screened both infection status (presence/absence of infection) and infection intensity to the pathogeni...
