However, the extent to which and the mechanismsvia which nutrition contributes to infectious disease dynamics in animalpopulations remains unclear. In this study of nutrition dependence oninfectious diseases we focused on symbionts of Daphnia magna, an aquatic invertebrate host that has beencharacterized by the presence of a multitude of symbiotic (epibiont andparasitic) taxa. It is straightforward to manipulate host nutrition in Daphnia, given that Daphnia can be fed different quantities of algae or algal taxa thatdiffe...
