Jackson, J., Hall, A., Friberg, I., Ralli, C., Lowe, A., Zawadzka, M., …Begon, M. (2014). An Immunological Marker of Tolerance to Infection in Wild Rodents. PLoS Biology, https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pbio.1001901

Hosts are likely to respond to parasitic infections by a combination of resistance (expulsion of pathogens) and tolerance(active mitigation of pathology). Of these strategies, the basis of tolerance in animal hosts is relatively poorly understood,wit... Read More about An Immunological Marker of Tolerance to Infection in Wild Rodents.

Host-parasite biology in the real world : the field voles of Kielder (2014)
Journal Article
Turner, A., Beldomenico, P., Bown, K., Burthe, S., Jackson, J., Lambin, X., & Begon, M. (2014). Host-parasite biology in the real world : the field voles of Kielder. Parasitology, 141(8), 997-1017. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0031182014000171

Research on the interactions between the field voles (Microtus agrestis) of Kielder Forest and their natural parasites dates back to the 1930s. These early studies were primarily concerned with understanding how parasites shape the characteristic cyc... Read More about Host-parasite biology in the real world : the field voles of Kielder.
