Sex differences in immune responses: Hormonal effects, antagonistic selection, and evolutionary consequences
Males and females differ in both parasite load and the strength of immune responses and
these effects have been verified in humans and other vertebrates. Sex hormones act as …

The impact of multiple infections on wild animal hosts: a review
F Bordes, S Morand - Infection ecology & epidemiology, 2011 - Taylor & Francis

Evolution of copy number at the MHC varies across the avian tree of life
The evolution of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is shaped by frequent gene
duplications and deletions, which generate extensive variation in the number of loci (gene …
