The energetic cost of mounting an immune response for Pallas’s long-tongued bat (Glossophaga soricina)

The acute phase response (APR) is the first line of defense of the vertebrate immune system against pathogens. Mounting an immune response is believed to be energetically costly but direct measures of metabolic rate during immune challenges contradict this assumption. The energetic cost of APR for b...
