Molecular Evolution of Immune Genes in the Malaria Mosquito Anopheles gambiae

BACKGROUND: As pathogens that circumvent the host immune response are favoured by selection, so are host alleles that reduce parasite load. Such evolutionary processes leave their signature on the genes involved. Deciphering modes of selection operating on immune genes might reveal the nature of hos...
