Are fish immune systems really affected by parasites? An immunoecological study of common carp (Cyprinus carpio).
Original language description
The basic function of the immune system is to protect an organism against infection in order to minimize the fitness costs of being infected. According to life-history theory, energy resources are in a trade-off between the costly demands of immunity andother physiological demands. In this study, we investigated the potential associations between the physiology and immunocompetence of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) collected during five different periods of a given year. We analyzed which of two factors, seasonality or parasitism, had the strongest impact on changes in fish physiology and immunity. We found that seasonal changes play a key role in affecting the analyzed measurements of physiology, immunity and parasitism. The correlation analysis revealed the relationships between the measures of overall host physiology, immunity and parasite load when temporal variability effect was removed.
