'Disease-smart' assisted migration can enhance population fitness and increase resistance to pathogens via immune priming

Enakshi Ghosh, Matthew Wallace, Ruth A. Hufbauer

The paper shows that adding immune-primed migrants to small inbred populations improves survival against pathogens, while non-primed migrants only enhance reproduction.
