Genotype specificity among hosts, pathogens, and beneficial microbes influences the strength of symbiont-mediated protection.
The microbial symbionts of eukaryotes influence disease resistance in many host-parasite systems. Symbionts show substantial variation in both genotype and phenotype, but it is unclear how natural selection maintains this variation. It is also unknown whether variable symbiont genotypes show specifi...
