New paper out today! Male pathology can drive transmission without sex-based differences in behavior. Congrats @SauerScientist ! @AnimalEcology @UArkResearch .

Using a sex-dependent transmission model parameterized with experimental data, this study demonstrates that female-biased resistance, independent of male behaviour, drives sex-dependent transmission...
