Polymorphism of BoLA-DRB3 in Semen and Its Influence on Progeny Derived from Semen with Resistance and Susceptibility to Bovine Leukemia Virus Proviral Load

Pathogens
Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is widespread globally and causes economic losses in the cattle industry. BoLA-DRB3 is a polymorphic gene associated with the BLV proviral load (PVL), which correlates with disease progression and transmission risk.

Superparasitism and its effects on the fitness of the larval parasitoid, Coccygidium luteum (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)

European Journal of Entomology
The tendency of parasitoid wasps to oviposit in a previously parasitised host (superparasitism) has long been considered detrimental to their fitness, until recent evidence showed that it may be an adaptive strategy.
