DESCRIPTION:The spread of genes that confer insect’s resistanc
 e to parasites depends on the fitness costs it may
  impose. In the presence of the parasite\, it is l
 ikely that the resistant individuals will be favou
 red over susceptible ones.  But in the absence of 
 the parasite a resistant genotype will only be fav
 oured if  having a mounted immune system is not ve
 ry costly.  We used the mosquito Aedes aegypti  an
 d the filarial nematode Brugia malayi as a model s
 ystem to investigate costs of resistance and costs
  of infection.
