Parasite-mediated selection of major histocompatibility complex variability in wild brandt's voles (Lasiopodomys brandtii) from Inner Mongolia, China
M Zhang, H He - BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2013 - Springer

A Probabilistic model in cross-sectional studies for identifying interactions between two persistent vector-borne pathogens in reservoir populations
Background In natural populations, individuals are infected more often by several pathogens
than by just one. In such a context, pathogens can interact. This interaction could modify the …

Local adaptation to parasites and selection on major histocompatibility genes in ecologically divergent populations of three-spine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus)
WE Stutz - 2013 - repositories.lib.utexas.edu
