Consequences of immune system aging in nature: a study of immunosenescence costs in free-living Tree Swallows

3 Dec 2010

Abstract excerpt

Immunosenescence, the aging of the immune system, is well documented in humans and laboratory models and is known to increase infection risk, morbidity, and mortality among the old. Immunosenescence patterns have recently been unveiled in various free-living populations, but their consequences in the wild have not been explored. We investigated the consequences of immunosenescence in free-living Tree Swallows...
