Indirect genetic effects and the spread of infectious disease: are we capturing the full heritable variation underlying disease prevalence?

Reducing disease prevalence through selection for host resistance offers a desirable alternative to chemical treatment. Selection for host resistance has proven difficult, however, due to low heritability estimates. These low estimates may be caused by a failure to capture all the relevant genetic v...
