Effects of protein malnutrition on tolerance to helminth infection.

Biology letters - 1 Jun 2016

Clough Dagmar, Prykhodko Olena, Råberg Lars

Abstract excerpt

Infection tolerance is the ability of a host to limit the health effects of a given parasite load. A few recent studies have demonstrated genetic variation for tolerance, but little is known about how environmental factors affect tolerance. Here, we used the intestinal nematode Heligmosomoides polygyrus in laboratory mice to test for effects of protein malnutrition on tolerance. We performed an experiment where...
