Dissecting genetic and sex-specific sources of host heterogeneity in pathogen shedding and spread

19 Jan 2021

Abstract excerpt

Host heterogeneity in disease transmission is widespread but precisely how different host traits drive this heterogeneity remains poorly understood. Part of the difficulty in linking individual variation to population-scale outcomes is that individual hosts can differ on multiple behavioral, physiological and immunological axes, which will together impact their transmission potential. Moreover, we lack...
