The landscape genetics of infectious disease emergence and spread
The spread of parasites is inherently a spatial process often embedded in physically
complex landscapes. It is therefore not surprising that infectious disease researchers are …

Immunity, resistance and tolerance in bird–parasite interactions
G Sorci - Parasite immunology, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
Interacting pathogens and hosts have evolved reciprocal adaptations whose function is to
allow host exploitation (from the pathogen stand point) or minimize the cost of infection (from …
