Long-term maternal effect on offspring immune response in song sparrows <i>Melospiza melodia</i>

26 Sept 2006

Abstract excerpt

Knowledge of the causes of variation in host immunity to parasitic infection and the time-scales over which variation persists, is integral to predicting the evolutionary and epidemiological consequences of host-parasite interactions. It is clear that offspring immunity can be influenced by parental immune experience, for example, reflecting transfer of antibodies from mothers to young offspring. However, it is...
