Heritable population differences in immune gene expression following infection can reveal mechanisms of host immune evolution. We compared gene expression in infected and uninfected threespine stickleback (<i>Gasterosteus aculeatus</i>) from two natural populations that differ in resistance to a native cestode parasite, <i>Schistocephalus solidus</i>. Genes in both the innate and adaptive immune system were differentially expressed as a function of host population, infection status, and their in ...[more]
