PROBLEMS OF INBREEDING between genetically closely related individuals of the same species. Increased susceptibility to diseases, resulting from diminished genetic variability (heterozygosity), is a consequence of inbreeding between a single species. Deleterious recessive alleles are propagated and the breed looses ‘vigor’. Inbreeding however is common in some parasites and aggressive weeds where purging by selection filters the gene pool.
