| BioRxiv
Abstract Diversification by natural selection is a major source of biodiversity. The selective pressures imposed by parasites on their hosts have the potential to increase diversity at immunologically relevant genes and maintain high polymorphism within and among populations. The immune genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) are a hallmark of parasite-mediated selection. These genes frequently show local adaptation to the prevailing parasites.
