Cytokine gene polymorphism and parasite susceptibility in free-living rodents: importance of non-coding variants

HIGHLIGHTS

  • who: Agnieszka Kloch et al. from the Department of Ecology, Faculty of Biology, University of Warsaw, Warszawa, Poland, Wild Urban have published the paper: Cytokine gene polymorphism and parasite susceptibility in free-living rodents: Importance of non-coding variants, in the Journal: PLOS ONE of September/14,/2021
  • what: The authors investigated how genetic variation in cytokines in bank voles Myodes glareolus affects their susceptibility to infection by parasites (nematodes: Aspiculuris tianjensis Heligmosomum mixtum Heligmosomoides glareoli) and microparasites (Cryptosporidium sp Babesia microti Bartonella sp.). The authors focused on three cytokines: tumour necrosis factor (TNF) lymphotoxin . . .
