The hidden costs of resistance: Contrasting the energetics of successfully and unsuccessfully fighting infection

2024-02-18

Abstract excerpt

Abstract Exposure to a pathogen is predicted to lead to increased energy use as hosts attempt to activate a costly immune system and repair damaged tissue. To meet this demand, metabolic rates, which capture the rate at which a host can use, transform and expend energy, are expected to increase. Yet for many host–pathogen systems, metabolic rates after encountering a pathogen are just as likely to decrease as incr...
