An immunological marker of tolerance to infection in wild rodents

JA Jackson, AJ Hall, IM Friberg, C Ralli, A Lowe… - PLoS …, 2014‏ - journals.plos.org
Hosts are likely to respond to parasitic infections by a combination of resistance (expulsion
of pathogens) and tolerance (active mitigation of pathology). Of these strategies, the basis of …

The ecoimmunology of invasive species

TA White, SE Perkins - Functional Ecology, 2012‏ - Wiley Online Library
