Novel methods for quantifying individual host response to infectious pathogens for genetic analyses
Here we propose two novel approaches for describing and quantifying the response of individual hosts to pathogen challenge in terms of infection severity and impact on host performance. The first approach is a direct extension of the methodology for estimating group tolerance – the change in perform...
