Abstract
► Coevolutionary dynamics playing in host-parasite interaction lead to an arms race. ► In snail/schistosome interaction this results in a compatibility polymorphism. ► This phenomenon could be explained by a matching phenotype model. ► Recently discovered parasite antigens and host immune receptors support this hypothesis.
