Cooperation between physiological defenses and immune resistance produces asymptomatic carriage of a lethal bacterial pathogen
2023-01-22
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Animals have evolved two defense strategies to survive infections. Antagonistic strategies include mechanisms of immune resistance that operate to sense and kill invading pathogens. Cooperative or physiological defenses mediate host adaptation to the infected state, limiting physiological damage and disease, without killing the pathogen, and have been shown to cause asymptomatic carriage and tra...
