Popular Abstract in Swedish I mitt doktorandprojekt har jag studerat den fästingspridda bakterien Borrelia och dess värddjur skogssork. Det övergripande syftet har varit att kartlägga den genetiska variationen i den delen av immunförsvaret som tar hand om bakterieinfektioner, som till exempel borrelia. I alla ryggradsdjur finns ett specifikt immunförsvar som kan identifiera små proteinbitar från eThe major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class IIB genes exhibit extensive allelic polymorphism, most likely maintained by pathogen-mediated balancing selection (PMBS). PMBS may operate in the form of heterozygote advantage (HA), and/or through the interaction of pathogens and specific MHC alleles via fluctuating selection (FS) or negative frequency-dependent selection (NFDS). In particular, NFD
