Age-specific haemosporidian infection dynamics and survival in Seychelles warblers Hammers et al 2016 Sci Rep.pdf

Parasites can have severe impacts on the fitness of their hosts, and can influence reproduction, survival and sexual selection. Therefore, understanding if and how hosts mitigate the negative effects of infections is of major importance to understanding host-parasite co-evolution and host life-history evolution.
