The costs of immunity and the evolution of immunological defense

The presence of the costs of immunity ensures that high-fitness genotypes are not necessarily those possessing the greatest pathogen defense, but instead are those making the best compromise between the competing needs for whole-organism lifetime reproductive success. The evidence of such costs, esp ...
