DOI: 10.1002/mbo3.1400
Abstract: Campylobacter jejuni is a commensal in many animals but causes diarrhea in humans. Its polysaccharide capsule contributes to host colonization and virulence in a strain‐ and model‐specific manner. We investigated if the capsule and its… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/icb/icaf114
Abstract: Wildlife populations increasingly encounter unpredictable environmental conditions and reduced resource availability, influencing energy and protein available for immune defenses. According to resource-constraint hypotheses, central to ecoimmunology, organisms with more resources should have the ability to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1749-4877.12899
Abstract: Urbanization processes modulate the immunological challenges faced by animals. Urban habitat transformations reshape pathogen diversity and abundance, while high population density-common in urban exploiter species-promotes disease transmission. Responses to urbanization may include adaptive adjustments of… read more here.

Dual RNA-seq reveals no plastic transcriptional response of the coccidian parasite Eimeria falciformis to host immune defenses
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "BMC Genomics"
DOI: 10.1186/s12864-017-4095-6
Abstract: BackgroundParasites can either respond to differences in immune defenses that exist between individual hosts plastically or, alternatively, follow a genetically canalized (“hard wired”) program of infection. Assuming that large-scale functional plasticity would be discernible in… read more here.
