New insight into how immune systems of stickleback fish respond to tapeworm parasite

Lugging around a tapeworm that's one third your body weight can be a real drag. So threespine stickleback fish evolved resistance to tapeworms-;but resistance has costs of its own, a team of researchers show in Science on 8 September.
