Linking individual behavior and immunity to large-scale patterns in disease
OSI
PI Name
John Orrock
In conjunction with NEON Small Mammal Sampling, iButtons are deployed at one pathogen grid at each selected site over three field seasons and are associated with captures during mammal processing. Tissue samples are collected from Peromyscus sp. captured on the same grid in support of this project. PI Name
