Age specific impacts of vegetation functional traits on gastro-intestinal nematode parasite burdens in a large herbivore

E. Wiersma, R. J. Pakeman, X. Bal, J. G. Pilkington, J. M. Pemberton, D. H. Nussey, A. R. Sweeny

The paper examines how vegetation functional traits affect gastro-intestinal nematode parasite burdens in Soay sheep across different age groups, finding spatial and trait-related variations in immature sheep but not in yearlings or adults.

Functionally distinct T-helper cell phenotypes predict resistance to different types of parasites in a wild mammal

Y. Corripio-Miyar, A. Hayward, H. Lemon, A. R. Sweeny, X. Bal, F. Kenyon, J. G. Pilkington, J. M. Pemberton, D. H. Nussey, T. N. McNeilly

The study shows that Th1 and Th2 immune responses predict resistance to different parasites in wild Soay sheep, supporting lab findings in natural settings.
