    Science 282:1432-5. 1998
    ..Understanding why parasite virulence seldom escalates similarly in natural populations could help us to manage virulence and deal with emerging diseases...

    ..magna), because most of the populations analysed appeared to have high levels of sexual recruitment and therefore lacked the linkage disequilibrium that underlies associations between allozymes and susceptibility...

    Universitat Basel, Zoologisches Institut, Evolutionsbiologie Vesalgasse 1, Basel, Switzerland
    Heredity (Edinb) 108:547-51. 2012
    ..This has important implications for the outcome of host-parasite co-evolution. Our results add to the growing body of evidence that resistance to parasites in invertebrates is mostly coded by one or few loci with dominance...

    ..In addition, correspondence analysis revealed that some host clones, although distinguishable with neutral genetic markers, were susceptible to the same set of parasite isolates and thus probably shared resistance genes...
