The advances in genetics and biochemistry that have taken place over the last 10 years led
to significant advances in experimental and clinical immunology. In turn, this has led to the …

Exposure and susceptibility underlie every organism's infection status, and an untold
diversity of factors can drive variation in both. Often, both exposure and susceptibility change …

Human activities create novel food resources that can alter wildlife–pathogen interactions. If
resources amplify or dampen, pathogen transmission probably depends on both host …

Ecoimmunology utilizes techniques from traditionally laboratory-based disciplines—for
example, immunology, genomics, proteomics, neuroendocrinology, and cell biology—to …

Unlike farm animals, wild animals are not subject to continuous health surveillance.
Individual projects designed to screen wildlife populations for specific pathogens are …

Life history theory predicts that reproductive allocation draws resources away from immunity,
resulting in increased parasitism. However, studies of reproductive trade‐offs rarely examine …

Understanding the spread of Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) in wild birds, particularly in those
with opportunistic feeding behavior, is of interest for elucidating the epidemiological …

We examined avoidance, tolerance, and resistance strategies of nestling and adult tree
swallows Tachycineta bicolor in response to ectoparasitic blowflies Protocalliphora sialia …

What are the relative costs and benefits of mounting immune responses? Practitioners of
ecoimmunology have grappled with this central question since the field's inception with the …

Many studies in disease and ecological immunology rely on the use of assays that quantify
the amount of specific antibodies (immunoglobulin) in samples. Enzyme‐linked …
