Recently, an empirical study showed that inbreeding (assessed by individual measures of multi-locus heterozygosity) is associated with hookworm-related mortality of California sea lions. If inbreeding increases susceptibility to hookworms, effects would expectedly be stronger in small, fragmented populations. We tested this assumption in the New Zealand sea lion, a threatened otariid that has low levels of genetic variability and high hookworm infection rates. Using a panel of 22 microsatellites, we found that average allelic diversity (5.9) and mean heterozygosity (0.72) were higher than expected for a small population with restricted breeding, and we found no evidence of an association between genetic variability and hookworm resistance. However, similar to what was observed for the California sea lion, homozygosity at a single locus explained the occurrence of anaemia and thrombocytopenia in hookworm-infected pups (generalized linear model,<jats:italic>F<\/jats:italic>= 11.81,<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>&lt; 0.001) and the effect was apparently driven by a particular allele (odds ratio = 34.95%; CI: 7.12\u2013162.41;<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>&lt; 0.00001). Our study offers further evidence that these haematophagus parasites exert selective pressure on otariid blood-clotting processes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1098\/rspb.2009.1001","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,7,16]],"date-time":"2009-07-16T00:39:29Z","timestamp":1247704769000},"page":"3523-3529","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1098\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Hookworm infection, anaemia and genetic variability of the New Zealand sea lion"],"prefix":"10.1098","volume":"276","author":[{"given":"Karina","family":"Acevedo-Whitehouse","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Zoology, Regent's Park, London NW1 4RY, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Laura","family":"Petetti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Zoology, Regent's Park, London NW1 4RY, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Padraig","family":"Duignan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Natural Resources, Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aurelie","family":"Castinel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, Wellington 6011, New Zealand"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"175","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,7,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_1","unstructured":"Acevedo-Whitehouse K.. 2004 Influence of inbreeding on disease susceptibility in natural populations.
