This file deals with the following question : 
                      - Is it possible to identify factors mediating genetic susceptibility of rodents to
                        hantaviruses
                      - by studying the genes involved in the immune response
                      - using phylogeny, phylogeography and population genetics ?

The documents below provide three levels of information on rodents' susceptibility to hantaviruses, namely :

[Article]       1.- A bibliographic review on hantavirus-induced immune responses in
                    rodent reservoir (to help determine candidate genes)         
[Slideshow]     2.- A candidate gene approach applied over the macro-evolutive scale(between species) : 
                    the case of integrins.                       
                3.- A candidate gene approach applied over the micro-evolutive scale (within species):
                    the case of Mhc genes and Myodes glareolus at various scales :
[Article]                   a) Experimental infection.
[Article]                   b) 'Local' scale in Jura - France  
[Slideshow]                 c) Regional scale in Europe
