Sex bias in ability to cope with cancer: Tasmanian devils and facial tumour disease

21 Nov 2018

Abstract excerpt

Knowledge of the ecological dynamics between hosts and pathogens during the initial stages of disease emergence is crucial to understanding the potential for evolution of new interspecific interactions. Tasmanian devil ( Sarcophilus harrisii ) populations have declined precipitously owing to infection by a transmissible cancer (devil facial tumour disease, DFTD) that emerged approximately 20 years ago. Since the...
