Host avoidance and resistance vary independently and are specific to parasite genotype

Caroline R. Amoroso, Adianna Lockwood‐Shabat, Andreas Kamali, Amanda Kyle Gibson

This study separates avoidance and resistance in C. elegans against S. marcescens and finds no correlation between them, suggesting independent covariation and genetic specificity.

Disentangling genetic variance for pathogen avoidance and resistance

Caroline R. Amoroso, Janis Antonovics

This study uses a two-locus model to show that avoidance and resistance alleles are negatively associated at equilibrium, but only when both defenses are polymorphic for a limited range of parameters.
