Benefits of host genetic diversity for resistance to infection depend on parasite diversity [PDF]
, 2010 Host populations with high genetic diversity are predicted to have lower levels of infection prevalence. This theory assumes that host genetic diversity results in variation in susceptibility and that parasites exhibit variation in infectivity. Empirical
