Linking anthropogenic resources to wildlife–pathogen dynamics: a review and meta‐analysis

DJ Becker, DG Streicker, S Altizer - Ecology letters, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Urbanisation and agriculture cause declines for many wildlife, but some species benefit from
novel resources, especially food, provided in human‐dominated habitats. Resulting shifts in …

Tolerance of infections

JS Ayres, DS Schneider - Annual review of immunology, 2012 - annualreviews.org
A host has two methods to defend against pathogens: It can clear the pathogens or reduce
their impact on health in other ways. The first, resistance, is well studied. Study of the …

Epigenetics of host–pathogen interactions: the road ahead and the road behind

E Gómez-Díaz, M Jorda, MA Peinado, A Rivero - PLoS pathogens, 2012 - journals.plos.org
A growing body of evidence points towards epigenetic mechanisms being responsible for a
wide range of biological phenomena, from the plasticity of plant growth and development to …

[HTML][HTML] Temperature and clone-dependent effects of microplastics on immunity and life history in Daphnia magna

DE Sadler, FS Brunner, SJ Plaistow - Environmental Pollution, 2019 - Elsevier
Microplastic (MP) pollution is potentially a major threat to many aquatic organisms. Yet we
currently know very little about the mechanisms responsible for the effects of small MPs on …

[图书][B] Immunity: the evolution of an idea

AI Tauber - 2017 - books.google.com
Modern immunology traditionally conceives of the immune system as providing defense
against pathogens. Alfred I. Tauber criticizes this conception of immunity as too narrow …

Impact of host nutritional status on infection dynamics and parasite virulence in a bird‐malaria system

S Cornet, C Bichet, S Larcombe… - Journal of Animal …, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Host resources can drive the optimal parasite exploitation strategy by offering a good or a
poor environment to pathogens. Hosts living in resource‐rich habitats might offer a …

The roles of environmental variation and parasite survival in virulence–transmission relationships

WC Turner, PL Kamath… - Royal Society …, 2021 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Disease outbreaks are a consequence of interactions among the three components of a host–
parasite system: the infectious agent, the host and the environment. While virulence and …

Empirical evidence that metabolic theory describes the temperature dependency of within-host parasite dynamics

D Kirk, N Jones, S Peacock, J Phillips, PK Molnár… - PLoS …, 2018 - journals.plos.org
The complexity of host–parasite interactions makes it difficult to predict how host–parasite
systems will respond to climate change. In particular, host and parasite traits such as …

Limiting damage during infection: lessons from infection tolerance for novel therapeutics

PF Vale, A Fenton, SP Brown - PLoS biology, 2014 - journals.plos.org
In the field of infectious disease control, novel therapies are focusing on reducing illness
caused by pathogens rather than on reducing the pathogen burden itself. Here, Vale and …

Host resistance and tolerance of parasitic gut worms depend on resource availability

SA Knutie, CL Wilkinson, QC Wu, CN Ortega, JR Rohr - Oecologia, 2017 - Springer
Resource availability can significantly alter host–parasite dynamics. Abundant food can
provide more resources for hosts to resist infections, but also increase host tolerance of …
