Natural variation in host defense strategies impacts both host and pathogen fitness

2022-09-23

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> Animals ranging from mosquitoes to humans often vary their feeding behavior when infected or merely exposed to pathogens. For example, some individuals drastically reduce their food intake (‘illness-mediated anorexia’) while others increase food intake (‘hyperphagia’). While these so-called ‘sickness behaviors’ are well documented, their functional consequences remain poorly resolved. Here, we...
