Information is provided about the current state of knowledge on the MHC selection
in the water Vole.

   - The slide-show (39 slides) reviews the MHC selection mechanisms at various time
     scales (contemporary, historical) as they are known in voles. Some detection methods
     are also overviewed.

   - four articles addressing focus aspects of the MHC selection are made available :

           . Bryja et al., 2006: Duplication, balancing selection and trans-species evolution
             explain the high levels of polymorphism of the DQA MHC class II gene in voles
            (Arvicolinae).
           . Bryja et al., 2007: Density-related changes in selection pattern for major
             histocompatibility complex genes in fluctuating populations of voles.
           . Deter et al., 2008: Association between the DQA MHC class II gene and
             Puumala virus infection in Myodes glareolus, the bank vole.
           . Tollenaere et al., 2008: Multiple parasites mediate balancing selection at two
             MHC class II genes in the fossorial water vole: insights from multivariate analyses
             and population genetics.

   - Generic Wiki article on MHC are also provided for convenience.
