Zusammenfassung

Infected plants release chemosensory signals that prime the defense systems of neighboring plants and thus restrict pathogen spread throughout a community. Although it is well established that mammals exhibit an altered perceivable state during infection, such changes are considered a mere consequence of infection rather than active signaling between uninfected and infected individuals. Whether infected mammals modulate their perceivable state to prime immune defenses in uninfected conspecifics and thus promote resilience to microbial infection is completely unknown. This gap in our knowledge ...
