Adaptive evolution of stress response genes in parasites aligns with host niche diversity

Adaptive evolution of stress response genes in parasites aligns with host niche diversity

Abstract Background Stress responses are key the survival of parasites and, consequently, also the evolutionary success of these organisms. Despite this importance, our understanding of the evolution of molecular pathways dealing with environmental stressors in parasitic animals remains limited. Her...
