Host circadian rhythms are disrupted during malaria infection in parasite genotype-specific manners
29 Jul 2019
Abstract excerpt
Infection can dramatically alter behavioural and physiological traits as hosts become sick and subsequently return to health. Such "sickness behaviours" include disrupted circadian rhythms in both locomotor activity and body temperature. Host sickness behaviours vary in pathogen species-specific manners but the influence of pathogen intraspecific variation is rarely studied. We examine how infection with the...
