摘要
Disease is one of the main driving forces of biological evolution. Parasites cause natural selection for disease resistance in populations of their hosts. Why then are all organisms susceptible to some parasites? One explanation is that resistance to disease is costly, reducing the fitness of the host in the absence of disease. A recent article shows that such costs might have helped to maintain polymorphism at a resistance locus. Other work, however, has questioned whether the costs of resistance are indeed necessary to account for polymorphism in host-parasite interactions.
