‘Keeping the kids at home’ can limit the persistence of contagious pathogens in social animals

2020-04-13

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> In social species where offspring are reared together in communal burrows or similar structures, young animals typically do not engage in between-group contact during their development – a behavioural trait we call ‘offspring with restricted between-group contact’ (ORC). The impact of this trait on the persistence of contagious pathogens that generate lifelong immunity in their hosts is currentl...
