Eco-immunology investigates how the immune system evolves to balance protection and potential harm from pathogens. This project focuses on understanding hidden costs of mild infections and their impact on fitness, using long-term studies of great reed warblers to analyze immune responses and evolutionary dynamics.
Eco-immunology targets one of the great challenges in biology and medicine - how the immune system has evolved to optimize protection and minimize immunopathology (incl. autoimmune) costs. A primary target of my proposal is to study low-virulent pathogens causing mild infections, which for long have been considered harmless.
Recent research suggests that this notion is false and that seemingly harmless pathogens entail delayed (‘hidden’) fitness costs.
However, the mechanisms mediating these cos…
