Minor differences in body condition and immune status between avian influenza virus-infected and noninfected mallards: a sign of coevolution?
Wildlife pathogens can alter host fitness. Low pathogenic avian influenza virus (LPAIV) infection is thought to have negligible impacts on wild birds; however, effects of infection in free-living birds are largely unstudied. We investigated the extent to which LPAIV infection and shedding were assoc...
