The effect and relative importance of neutral genetic diversity for predicting parasitism varies across parasite taxa.
Understanding factors that determine heterogeneity in levels of parasitism across individuals is a major challenge in disease ecology. It is known that genetic makeup plays an important role in infection likelihood, but the mechanism remains unclear as does its relative importance when compared to o...
