Host sex and parasite genetic diversity

Is the genetic diversity of parasites infecting male and female hosts equal or different? This is the question we address in this paper by studying the neutral genetic variability of the plathyhelminth trematode Schistosoma mansoni within males and females of its natural murine host Rattus rattus in...

description Is the genetic diversity of parasites infecting male and female hosts equal or different? This is the question we address in this paper by studying the neutral genetic variability of the plathyhelminth trematode Schistosoma mansoni within males and females of its natural murine host Rattus rattus in the marshy forest focus of Guadeloupe (French West Indies). Using seven microsatellite markers, we demonstrate that parasites from male hosts are genetically more diversified than parasites from female hosts. Three hypotheses are discussed that could explain this pattern: 1) a host sex-specific duration of cercariae recruitment; 2) a difference in the behaviour of male and female hosts that would lead to the exposure of males to a greater diversity of parasites; and 3) a host sex-biased immunocompetence that would lead to the selection of more genetically diversified individuals in male than in female rats. This finding is the first empirical evidence that each host sex may play different roles in the maintenance of parasite genetic diversity and so in their evolutionary dynamics and epidemiology.
