Disentangling interactions among mercury, immunity, and infection in a Neotropical bat community
2020-06-12
Abstract excerpt
Contaminants such as mercury are pervasive and can have immunosuppressive effects on wildlife. Impaired immunity could be important for forecasting pathogen spillover risks, as many land-use changes that generate mercury contamination also bring wildlife into close contact with humans and domestic animals.
