Pathogen priming alters host transmission potential and predictors of transmissibility in a wild songbird species

ABSTRACT Pathogen reinfections occur widely, but the extent to which reinfected hosts contribute to ongoing transmission is often unknown despite its implications for host-pathogen dynamics. House finches (Haemorhous mexicanus) acquire partial protection from initial exposure to the bacterial pathog...
