Nutritional ecology and ecological immunology in degus: Does early nutrition affect the postnatal development of the immune function?

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A Ecological and Integrative Physiology, 2020
Environmental conditions experienced by developing animals have an impact on the development and maturity of the immune system. Specifically, the diet experienced during early development influences the maintenance and function of the immune system in ...

Ecological and immunological determinants of influenza evolution

Nature, 2003
In pandemic and epidemic forms, influenza causes substantial, sometimes catastrophic, morbidity and mortality. Intense selection from the host immune system drives antigenic change in influenza A and B, resulting in continuous replacement of circulating strains with new variants able to re-infect hosts immune to earlier types.

The immunology and ecology of co‐infection

Molecular Ecology, 2013
It's a wormy world. All natural vertebrate populations are subject to infection and re‐infection with helminth parasites (Stoll 1947). Even in humans, around one billion people in developing nations are infected by one or several of a range of helminth parasites (Lustigman et al. 2012).

Ecological and evolutionary principles in immunology

Ecology Letters, 2006
AbstractExperimental immunology has given rise to detailed insights into how immune cells react to infectious agents and fight pathogens. At the same time, however, the interplay between infectious agents and immune responses can be viewed as an ecological systemin vivo.

Ecological immunology

Trends in Ecology and Evolution, 1996
In the face of continuous threats from parasites, hosts have evolved an elaborate series of preventative and controlling measures - the immune system - in order to reduce the fitness costs of parasitism. However, these measures do have associated costs. Viewing an individual's immune response to parasites as being subject to optimization in the face of

The Microbial Ecology and Immunology of the Adenoid: Implications for Otitis Media

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 1997
The nasopharyngeal tonsil, or adenoid, is a major inductive site for the synthesis of J-chain-positive B cells that may migrate to other areas of the upper respiratory tract, such as the nasal mucosa, the parotid gland, the lacrimal gland, and the middle ear during inflammation.

Immunological Ecology of Anxiety and Stress

1991
A century ago, an English psychiatrist, Henry Maudsley, wrote of the complexity of somatic and psychic connections in these terms: ‘The sorrow that has no vent in tears makes other organs weep’. Fritz Zorn, the author of a literary work, the novel Mars, published in 1977, shared this intuition: a young man from Swiss upper middle class society, Mars ...

The ecology and immunology of the gastrointestinal tract in health and critical illness

Journal of Hospital Infection, 1991
Interactions between the indigenous flora of the gastrointestinal tract and immunologically competent cells in the gut mucosa, gut-associated lymphoid tissues and liver play an important role in normal immune homeostasis. The microbial flora of the normal gut is complex, yet remarkably constant over time.
