The trans-generational impact of population density signals on host-parasite interactions.

BMC evolutionary biology - 25 Nov 2016

Michel Jessica, Ebert Dieter, Hall Matthew D

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The density of a host population is a key parameter underlying disease transmission, but it also has implications for the expression of disease through its effect on host physiology. In response to higher densities, individuals are predicted to either increase their immune investment in response to the elevated risk of parasitism, or conversely to decrease their immune capacity as a consequence of the...
