Adaptive host responses to infection can resemble parasitic manipulation

Adaptive host responses to infection can resemble parasitic manipulation

Abstract Using a dynamic optimisation model for juvenile fish in stochastic food environments, we investigate optimal hormonal regulation, energy allocation and foraging behaviour of a growing host infected by a parasite that only incurs an energetic cost. We find it optimal for the infected host to...
