Both Candidate Gene and Neutral Genetic Diversity Correlate with Parasite Resistance in Female Mediterranean Mouflon
BMC Ecology(2019)
摘要
Parasite infections can have substantial impacts on population dynamics and are accordingly a key challenge for wild population management. Here we studied genetic mechanisms driving parasite resistance in a large herbivore through a comprehensive approach combining measurements of neutral (16 microsatellites) and adaptive (MHC DRB1 exon 2) genetic diversity and two types of gastrointestinal parasites (nematodes and coccidia).
