’Disease-smart’ assisted migration can enhance population fitness and increase resistance to pathogens via immune priming
2024-07-17
Abstract excerpt
We studied the potential of combining insect immune priming to synergize with introduction of diverse migrant to safeguard small populations from disease outbreaks that might otherwise lead to extinction. Immune priming in insects refers to the stronger immune response insects have against pathogens after prior exposure. This enhanced immunity can be passed on to offspring and holds promise for insect conservation...
