MHC Class I diversity influences haematozoon infection intensity in the polymorphic black sparrowhawk (Accipiter melanoleucus)
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a multigene family known to be the most variable gene group in vertebrates in terms of allelic diversity and gene number. Pathogen mediated selection is thought to be the major driving force behind the unusually high levels of MHC polymorphism in natural...
