Both candidate gene and neutral genetic diversity correlate with parasite resistance in female Mediterranean mouflon

Both candidate gene and neutral genetic diversity correlate with parasite resistance in female Mediterranean mouflon

Abstract Background 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...
