Varying conjunctival immune response adaptations of house finch populations to a rapidly evolving bacterial pathogen
Pathogen adaptations during host-pathogen co-evolution can cause the host balance between immunity and immunopathology to rapidly shift. However, little is known in natural disease systems about the immunological pathways optimised through the trade-off between immunity and self-damage. The evolutio...
