Maintenance of host variation in tolerance to pathogens and parasites.
Tolerance and resistance provide hosts with two distinct defense strategies against parasitism. In resistance the hosts "fight" the parasite directly, whereas in tolerance the hosts fight the disease by ameliorating the damage that infection causes. There is increasing recognition that the two mechanisms may exhibit very different evolutionary behaviors. Although empirical work has often noted ...
متن کاملEvolved pesticide tolerance influences susceptibility to parasites in amphibians
Because ecosystems throughout the globe are contaminated with pesticides, there is a need to understand how natural populations cope with pesticides and the implications for ecological interactions. From an evolutionary perspective, there is evidence that pesticide tolerance can be achieved via two mechanisms: selection for constitutive tolerance over multiple generations or by inducing toleran...
متن کاملHost Genetic Variation Influences Gene Expression Response to Rhinovirus Infection
Rhinovirus (RV) is the most prevalent human respiratory virus and is responsible for at least half of all common colds. RV infections may result in a broad spectrum of effects that range from asymptomatic infections to severe lower respiratory illnesses. The basis for inter-individual variation in the response to RV infection is not well understood. In this study, we explored whether host genet...
متن کاملAntigenic variation and the within-host dynamics of parasites.
Many parasites exhibit antigenic variation within their hosts. We use mathematical models to investigate the dynamical interaction between an antigenically varying parasite and the host's immune system. The models incorporate antigenic variation in the parasite population and the generation of immune responses directed against (i) antigens specific to individual parasite variants and (ii) antig...
متن کاملGenetic Variation in Resistance to Parasites
Evidence for genetic variation to parasites has been found both within, and between, host populations and for a number of important parasite species including nematode worms, coccidian protozoa, flies and ticks. For this genetic variation to be exploited successfully, the requirements of livestock farmers must be identified clearly and an appropriate breeding objective established. The conseque...
