Abstract Knowledge of the genetic architecture of pathogen infectivity and host resistance is
essential for a mechanistic understanding of coevolutionary processes, yet the genetic basis …

The link between long-term host–parasite coevolution and genetic diversity is key to
understanding genetic epidemiology and the evolution of resistance. The model of Red …

Because parasitism is thought to play a major role in shaping host genomes, it has been
predicted that genomic regions associated with resistance to parasites should stand out in …

Understanding the genomic basis of infectious disease is a fundamental objective in co-
evolutionary theory with relevance to healthcare, agriculture, and epidemiology. Models of …

Simple Summary Diseases pose a significant challenge for aquaculture, exacerbated by
changing weather conditions. The sector has explored various strategies, including …

Many pathogens reside in environmental reservoirs within which they can reproduce and
from which they can infect hosts. These facultative pathogens experience different selective …

Background Infection outcome in some coevolving host-pathogens is characterised by host-
pathogen genetic interactions, where particular host genotypes are susceptible only to a …

Infectious disease outbreaks are causing widespread declines of marine invertebrates
including corals, sea stars, shrimps, and molluscs. Dermo is a lethal infectious disease of the …

Specific interactions of host and parasite genotypes can lead to balancing selection,
maintaining genetic diversity within populations. In order to understand the drivers of such …

Balancing selection is an evolutionary process that maintains genetic polymorphisms at
selected loci and strongly reduces the likelihood of allele fixation. When allelic …
