Genetic information about the seabird-tick-Borrelia host-parasite system

Entry ID: 333_3_IPEV_FR

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: Sequences of population genetic marquers (microsatellites) and flabB gene of Borrelia burdgoferi obtained as part of a CNRS/IPEV (French Polar Institute) research program aiming at examining the response of animal populations to environmental variability at different spatial scales. The study system is a host-parasite system at three levels, involving arctic seabirds as hosts, the tick Ixodes ... uriae as their ectoparasite and Lyme disease agent Borrelia burgdorferi as a microparasite. The role of the variability in host phenotypic responses (immunology and behaviour) and of the coevolution between the hosts and the vector tick for the ecology and evolution of such interactions at different scales are studied. In addition to laboratory analyses, the approach combines field experiment to the analyses of data and samples collected in a spatialised context.
