The quantitative genetics of the prevalence of infectious diseases: hidden genetic variation due to Indirect Genetic Effects dominates heritable variation and response to selection
2021-04-09
Abstract excerpt
Infectious diseases have profound effects on life, both in nature and agriculture. Despite the availability of well-established epidemiological theory, however, a quantitative genetic theory of the host population for the endemic prevalence of infectious diseases is almost entirely lacking.
