| the ecology of host immune responses to chronic avian haemosporidian infection. | host responses to parasitism in the wild are often studied in the context of single host-parasite systems, which provide little insight into the ecological dynamics of host-parasite interactions within a community. here we characterized immune system responses to mostly low-intensity, chronic infection by haemosporidian parasites in a sample of 424 individuals of 22 avian host species from the same local assemblage in the missouri ozarks. two types of white blood cells (heterophils and lymphocyt ... | 2014 | 25179282 |
