Host Competence: An Organismal Trait to Integrate Immunology and Epidemiology

18 Jul 2016

Abstract excerpt

The new fields of ecological immunology and disease ecology have begun to merge, and the classic fields of immunology and epidemiology are beginning to blend with them. This merger is occurring because the integrative study of host-parasite interactions is providing insights into disease in ways that traditional methods have not. With the advent of new tools, mathematical and technological, we could be on the...
