Parasite Load and Site-Specific Parasite Pressure as Determinants of Immune Indices in Two Sympatric Rodent Species
SIMPLE SUMMARY: Wild animals can host diseases that affect humans (i.e., zoonotic diseases). However, not all wild animals are equal in their hosting capacities. In fact, the immune system, the main defense against diseases, varies within and among species. Within species, variation relates to two f...
