Description
Summary:Health after pathogen contact varies among individuals because of differences in pathogen load (which is limited by resistance) and disease severity in response to pathogen load (which is limited by tolerance). To understand pathogen-induced host evolution, it is critical to know not only the relative contributions of nongenetic and genetic variation to resistance and tolerance but also how they change environmentally. We quantified nongenetic and genetic variation in parasite load and the associated temperature-dependent disease among trout siblings from two rivers. We detected a genetic variance for parasite load 6.6 times as large in the colder river. By contrast, genetic variance for disease traits tended to be larger in the warmer river, where the disease was manifested more severely. The relationships between disease severity and pathogen load (tolerance) exhibited plateaus at low pathogen load and stronger steepening slopes at high pathogen load in the warmer river. Our study demonstrates the ... : Genotypes_AltjaSTR genotypes for Salmo trutta individuals from River AltjaGenotypes_MustojaSTR genotypes for Salmo trutta individuals from River MustojaMarkerTypeErrorRateSTR genotyping error file used in parental reconstruction analysis using the program ColonyMinerData.All.EcorrqPCR quantification cycle as inferred by the online tool 'Real-time PCR Miner' http://miner.ewindup.info/ given per plate and well, including amplification efficiencies and efficiency-corrected quantification cyclePhenotypeDataPhenotype and sampling information for Salmo trutta individuals from rivers Altja and Mustoja.PKD.NegativeDataPhenotype data on parasite free Salmo trutta individuals from three Estonian rivers.qPCR.Tm.DataqPCR melting curve data per plate, well, and cycle. ...
