Spatial heterogeneity and polymorphism in host - parasite interactions
Section 1. Direct frequency-dependent selection (on any gene) generated by migration between two demes with different environments is negatively correlated with allele frequency. Section 2. Direct frequency-dependent selection is also generated by migration between demes with different environments if migration takes place before selection. Section 3. Dependence of parasite equilibrium allele f...
متن کاملPolymorphism in multilocus host parasite coevolutionary interactions.
Numerous loci in host organisms are involved in parasite recognition, such as major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes in vertebrates or genes involved in gene-for-gene (GFG) relationships in plants. Diversity is commonly observed at such loci and at corresponding loci encoding antigenic molecules in parasites. Multilocus theoretical models of host-parasite coevolution predict that polymorp...
متن کاملSpatial heterogeneity lowers rather than increases host–parasite specialization
Abiotic environmental heterogeneity can promote the evolution of diverse resource specialists, which in turn may increase the degree of host-parasite specialization. We coevolved Pseudomonas fluorescens and lytic phage ϕ2 in spatially structured populations, each consisting of two interconnected subpopulations evolving in the same or different nutrient media (homogeneous and heterogeneous envir...
متن کاملInteractions between frequency-dependent and vertical transmission in host-parasite systems.
We investigate host-pathogen dynamics and conditions for coexistence in two models incorporating frequency-dependent horizontal transmission in conjunction with vertical transmission. The first model combines frequency-dependent and uniparental vertical transmission, while the second addresses parasites transmitted vertically via both parents. For the first model, we ask how the addition of ver...
متن کاملGenetic variation in a host-parasite association: potential for coevolution and frequency-dependent selection.
Models of host-parasite coevolution assume the presence of genetic variation for host resistance and parasite infectivity, as well as genotype-specific interactions. We used the freshwater crustacean Daphnia magna and its bacterial microparasite Pasteuria ramosa to study genetic variation for host susceptibility and parasite infectivity within each of two populations. We sought to answer the fo...
