Interplay between host genetic variation and parasite transmission in the Blomphalaria glabrata - Schistosoma mansoni system

Genetic variability is often predicted to enhance host fitness in the face of parasitism, yet this idea is rarely tested in an experimental setting, particularly with animal hosts. To assess this question, we used a relatively resistant line of snail hosts (Biomphalaria glabrata) to generate inbred...
