Interannual dynamics of antibody levels in naturally infected long-lived colonial birds

Little is known about the long-term persistence of specific antibodies (Ab) in natural host—parasite systems despite its potential epidemiological and ecological importance. In long-lived species, knowledge of the dynamics of individual immunological profiles can be important not only for interpreti...
