Adaptive tolerance to a pathogenic fungus drives major histocompatibility complex evolution in natural amphibian populations
Amphibians have been affected globally by the disease chytridiomycosis, caused by the fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), and we are just now beginning to understand how immunogenetic variability contributes to disease susceptibility. Lineages of an expressed major histocompatibility complex...
