Abstract
⺠The foraging behaviour of white-footed mice was influenced by an immunogen. ⺠Low-dose mice preferred to forage in safe food patches over risky patches. ⺠High-dose mice showed no preference based on patch safety. ⺠The results reveal fitness costs of immunochallenge, which reduces risk sensitivity. ⺠Changes in foraging behaviour have the potential to impact community interactions.
