| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Pathogens generally have host specificity. It is a main cause of the robust host-parasite relationships. We can presume it a pathophysiological phenotype. Based on the feature we would like to investigate biodiversity of Asian primates, especially gibbons and macaques. That is, we analyze evolutionary characteristics of these primates thorough the host-parasite relationships of their pathogens, viruses, bacteria (Helicobacter), and malaria, using following methods. (1) Differentiation mechanisms of genes of both of pathogens and primate hosts. (2) Biogeography and evolutionary history of pathogens and primates hosts. (3) Genetic physiological analyses from host immune responses and genomic changes.
