“…In summary, by using compatible host-parasite combinations and focusing exclusively on the within-host infection process, we have demonstrated how different mechanisms of resistance can combine in the fight against infectious disease (for a review on this topic see [44]). Contrasting the resistance based on host-parasite genetic compatibility versus the within-host defence cascade, we show how the maternal environment is involved in all measurable aspects underlying the severity of disease.…”

“…Such antiparasitic behavior can result in reducing infection probability ("prophylactic selfmedication") and parasite burdens once the host is infected ("therapeutic self-medication") (Hart 1990). Most examples for therapeutic self-medication are mainly based on field observations on mammals ingesting plant material with antiparasitic chemicals (Clayton and Wolfe 1993) and several behavioral traits in invertebrates (Parker et al 2011). …”
