Genetic resistance and specificity in sister taxa of Daphnia: insights from the range of host susceptibilities

Abstract Background Host genetic diversity can affect various aspects of host-parasite interactions, including individual-level effects on parasite infectivity, production of transmission stages and virulence, as well as population-level effects that reduce disease spread and prevalence, and buffer...
