Genetic structure of immunologically associated candidate genes suggests arctic rabies variants exert differential selection in arctic fox populations.
Patterns of local adaptation can emerge in response to the selective pressures diseases exert on host populations as reflected in increased frequencies of respective, advantageous genotypes. Elucidating patterns of local adaptation enhance our understanding of mechanisms of disease spread and the ca...
