Mapping the functional form of the trade-off between infection resistance and reproductive fitness under dysregulated immune signaling.
Immune responses benefit organismal fitness by clearing parasites but also exact costs associated with immunopathology and energetic investment. Hosts manage these costs by tightly regulating the induction of immune signaling to curtail excessive responses and restore homeostasis. Despite the theore...
