Breeding consequences of flavivirus infection in the collared flycatcher

Abstract Background The breeding consequences of virus infections have rarely been studied in avian natural breeding populations. In this paper we investigated the links between humoral immunity following a natural flavivirus infection and reproduction in a wild bird population of collared flycatche...
